Amount of scarring in the th airway as a function of time measured from an arbitrary time . For the airway shown, the time of infection is months and scarring begins months after the infection time. Therefore, after months airway starts getting scars. Scarring grows at rate of until airway becomes irreversibly nonfunctional. The -axis shows the extent of scarring (arbitrary units).
