Spontaneous pneumothorax and air travel in Pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis: A patient survey

ConclusionsSP is a common manifestation of PLCH, can be seen in approximately one-fourth of the patients, and has a high recurrence risk. Surgical pleurodesis leads to a substantial reduction in the SP recurrence risk. The risk of an air travel-related SP in patients with PLCH is about 2–3 per thousand flights.Trial registry clinicaltrials.govNCT03052101.
