- 6. collection of fluid in the lung tissue
- 7. acute respiratory syndrome in children and infants characterized by obstruction of the larynx, hoarseness and barking cough

- 9. condition in which cancer cells form in the tissues of the lung
- 11. sudden onset of severe lung dysfunction affecting both lungs making it severely difficult to breathe
