Abstract
Each year approximately 250 new diseases are discovered and are identified as rare diseases. Rare diseases usually have about 5% of a tendency to involve the pulmonary system. It can be said that although rare diseases sound to be uncommon as their prevalence in a given population is low, there is actually a large number of people who suffer from it.
