News Summary

  • Lung transplant is the most complex procedure as compared to other transplants.
  • Unlike kidney or liver transplantation, lung transplantation presents unique risks.
  • Jharna Bhowmick developed interstitial lung disease, or ILD, when inflammation gradually scars the lungs, leading to fibrosis.
  • Doctors describe her recovery as one of the rare success stories involving a lung transplant recipient above the age of 60.
  • The donor lungs in this case came from a 48-year-old brain-dead donor.
For 65yearold Jharna Bhowmick, cooking her favourite dishes, pottering around the house and watering plants are not simple chores, they are a flight of freedom. I am breathing and living again.
