Question
The child keeps getting a fever and running to the hospital every other day. We went to a hospital in Changchun, and the doctor said it’s pulmonary capillary obstruction. Now we’re giving him symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, but the effect isn’t obvious. I want to know which hospitals can treat this condition? How did the child get it? What precautions should be taken for this disease?
Answer
The lungs are a vital organ in the human body, primarily responsible for gas exchange. This exchange occurs in the pulmonary capillaries within the alveoli. If there is a large-scale blockage in the pulmonary capillaries, it can lead to severe respiratory distress and failure. This condition is relatively rare and is usually seen in severe pneumonia, DIC (disseminated intravascular coagulation), and severe pulmonary vascular obstructive diseases. Since your description does not provide detailed medical history and examination results, it is not possible to confirm the accuracy of the diagnosis. If pulmonary capillary obstruction is indeed present, timely emergency treatment is required.
