Currently, Although most infected people recover wet lung disease, approximately 5% of them have a poor prognosis that can lead to death. Pneumonia is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. Some cases of wet lung occurs by inhaling small droplets that contain the organisms that can cause pneumonia.
