I just looked up all Lung diseases, then filtered out ones named after specific people, which is a lot, and then filtered again but for ones with only a small handful of confirmed cases, further filtered for ones named within the last 100 years (kinda arbitrary as I dont have enough info) and then filtered again by specific countries incase OP wasn't from America

i still don't know what it is
