Pneumology
Pneumology is the medical specialty that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases. Pulmonologists are doctors who specialize in diseases of the respiratory system, including asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and interstitial lung disease. They also treat diseases related to the bronchi, lungs and the body's defense system against respiratory infections. Additionally, pulmonologists can also treat sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, as well as occupational illnesses related to the air patients breathe in the workplace.
