About of Fiona Lacy-Hore

Fiona Lacy-Hore is a pulmonologist based in Melbourne. Her practice is at 55 Commercial Road, Melbourne, VIC 3004, Australia. Fiona looks after people with ongoing breathing and lung problems, as well as issues that can affect the airways and how the lungs work day to day.


Her work often involves conditions like asthma, allergic rhinitis, and bronchiectasis. At times, breathing can get worse because of frequent infections, ongoing airway irritation, or other triggers. She also manages interstitial lung disease, where the lung tissue can become inflamed or scarred. This can show up in different ways, and the plan usually needs to be tailored to what’s driving it.


Fiona also cares for patients with work-related lung disease such as silicosis. That can be a big deal for long-term health, so getting the diagnosis right and staying on top of symptoms matters. In some cases, she may also help with acute interstitial pneumonia, where symptoms can come on more suddenly and need careful assessment.


Some patients she sees have problems that are linked to the immune system, including X-linked agammaglobulinaemia, as well as conditions like lymphofollicular hyperplasia. She may also consider how reflux disease (GERD) and allergy symptoms can add to cough, throat irritation, and breathing discomfort.


When it comes to experience and training, the education and work history details aren’t listed here. There’s also no specific research or clinical trial information provided on this page. Even so, the focus stays practical: review symptoms, look at lung function and test results, and work out a clear next step for ongoing care.
