The mortality rate of large white lung is around 20% to 60%.
Large white lung is a more common term for clinical severe pneumonia, which is named because under chest X-ray examination, the lungs show a large white shadow, so the name is given to it. Among respiratory diseases, white lung is a disease with a high mortality rate, and most or more of the patients suffering from severe pneumonia usually have cardiopulmonary underlying diseases, so the mortality rate is high.
