    Gut-lung microbiome dysbiosis is significantly linked to interstitial lung diseases (ILD), influencing inflammation and immune dysregulation.

  • 2

    Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) shows altered lung microbiome diversity, correlating with disease progression and mortality.

  • 3

    Fungal dysbiosis in sarcoidosis may serve as a biomarker, indicating the need for further research on its role in disease progression.

  • 4

    Gut dysbiosis is implicated in connective tissue-associated ILDs, with probiotics and high-fiber diets showing protective effects.
