Histiocytosis Prognosis (Expectations)
In pulmonary histiocytosis, the disease stabilizes or improves in about one-half of the affected people and the other half progress to a permanent loss of lung function.
In the pediatric versions, it depends on the actual disease category and severity of the disease. Some can be expected to have a normal life span with minimal disease involvement and some can expect a poor outcome.
