Pneumology is the medical specialty dealing with respiratory problems. This medical specialty studies and treats diseases of the lungs, bronchi, pleura. Pneumonologists are physicians specializing in pulmonary diseases. Besides the various diseases, pneumonologists also support symptoms such as chronic cough, sleep apnea, shortness of breath, certain allergies and complications related to toxic chemicals exposure. A pneumonologist may also support smoking cessation.

In general, the general practitioner or pediatrician recommends a pneumonologist to his patient after the establishment of a preliminary diagnosis.
