Effect of pregnancy on lung function in adult pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis.
Adult pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis (APLCH) is a rare lung disease. We report a case of APLCH and pregnancy with detailed lung function tests. There was no significant change in the lung function tests during pregnancy. It is apparent that pregnancy does not influence the evolution of pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis.
