Rare Lung Diseases Center
If your child has one of the 200 or so rare lung diseases, you may feel alone and hopeless. Few pediatric pulmonologists have the experience to diagnose and treat these rare conditions, since each individual disease affects only a few children. Because the Rare Lung Diseases Center at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) sees a large volume of kids with these conditions, our team has the expertise to help your child lead a fuller and longer life.
Our Rare Lung Diseases Center brings together everything your child needs in one program. Here you'll find world-renowned pulmonary specialists who excel in diagnosing and treating these rare conditions. We focus on providing a detailed diagnosis and personalized treatment plans.
