Question: What parts of the lungs do these rare diseases affect?
Answer: Most rare lung diseases cause damage to one or more of these parts of your lungs:
1. Air sacs (alveoli), where your lungs and blood exchange gases.
2. Airways (bronchial tubes), which transport air in and out of your lungs.
3. Tissues that surround the alveoli and bronchial tubes.
