I heard that an old friend of mine has infuzema, but I can't find any info on it. Maybe I spelled it wrong?

. its emphysema. it's usually from smoking. your lungs get very stiff and the little air sacs in them get clogged.He can inhale but has a very hard time exhaling, so he keeps more carbon dioxide in his lungs than is healthy. that sucks real bad for your friend.

Influenza? Its a commonly referred to as the flu. Emphysema could be what you're going for, thats a lung desease that restricts the flow of air through the bronchial tubes. JESUS CHRIST IVY QUEEN! No body wants to read a f-ing textbook here. Just cut and paste the web-site you got that long, boring description for all the types of influenza on. Don't cut and paste the 20-page chapter on influenza (and all the table of contents)! That's kind of a dead giveaway that that's what you did. NO ONE'S IMPRESSED!

it's a lung disease that's caused by smoking. It is fatal. And I believe the correct spelling is Emphysema

You probably mean emphysema. It's a lung disease that makes if very difficult to breathe. It is progressive, meaning it gets worse with time. It is caused in large part by smoking.

Influenza maybe, wich is the flu. Basicully, you get either cold like systems, body aches, and fever or you can vomit, have the sweats, bodyaches, and a fever. It last for about 2 weeks.

infazema is a disease of the lungs where you can get air in, but you have a hard time getting your air back out. Eventually you develop what is called a barrel chest from working your muscles so hard to get your air out. Very nasty disease, you end up on oxygen and literally smother to death at the end. Sorry to sound so morbid, but that is the way it is.

emphysema is a disease you get from smoking too much. Your lungs go bad.
