A member asked:
Are people recovering from acute respiratory distress syndrome likely to get it again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on the cause: ARDS obviously weakens the lungs, but recurrence is not common during recovery. ARDS can recur, especially if the reason it occurred is still present. There does seem to be a predilection for it in some people, perhaps because of an imbalance between pro and anti-inflammatory immune process.
