The prevalence of this condition significantly increases with age, and is higher in patients with cardiovascular risk factors or end-stage renal disease. However, patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) may develop atherosclerosis and MAC at a relatively young age.

Department of Respiratory Medicine, Odense University Hospital, Odense, Denmark.
Background: Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome (BHD), a rare genetic disease characterized by multiple pulmonary cysts, can lead to spontaneous pneumothorax, cutaneous hamartomas, renal cysts, and renal cell cancer. The overall aim of this study was to assess clinical characteristics of patients with BHD-emphasizing on trends in pulmonary function patterns.
Methods: By use of data from electronic patient journals, we conducted a retrospective cohort study on clinical characteristics and pulmonary function tests (PFT) from patients with BHD, who were clinically followed-up in a Danish tertiary referral center for rare and interstitial lung diseases.
