Adelle S. Jee is a pulmonologist based in Sydney, NSW, Australia. She works with people who have ongoing breathing issues, and also with patients who need help when symptoms come on more suddenly.
In many cases, Adelle looks after conditions that affect the lungs and how well they work. This can include interstitial lung diseases and lung scarring, along with problems like idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. At times, patients are also managing flare-ups linked to other health conditions, such as systemic sclerosis (SSc) and scleroderma.
She also supports people with inflammation or injury in the lungs, including hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Some patients seen in a clinic setting have been dealing with long-term breathing changes, while others are working through what’s going on after an infection or a flare of symptoms.
Acute breathing problems are part of the picture too. Adelle can be involved when someone has pneumonia, or when breathing has become more urgent and needs careful assessment. In addition, she helps manage pulmonary fibrosis, and works through the day-to-day impact that breathlessness can have on work, sleep, and everyday activities.
There are also times when the lung symptoms connect to muscle and connective tissue issues. For example, patients may have myositis along with breathing strain, or complications related to systemic conditions. Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) is another area where lung and breathing support matters, especially when sleep and oxygen levels are affected.
Over time, good lung care is about more than one test or one appointment. Adelle focuses on understanding the pattern of symptoms, what triggers flares, and what helps most day to day. Care often includes planning next steps, making sure treatments fit the person, and keeping a close eye on how the lungs are responding.
Adelle stays up to date with new ideas in respiratory medicine and pays attention to what helps in real life. While she may not always be running research herself, the approach is still guided by current evidence and practical experience, so patients get clear, grounded advice. Clinical trials may be discussed when they are relevant and available, but the focus stays on what’s safe and suitable for each patient’s situation.
Adelle S. Jee provides specialist respiratory care in Sydney, supporting adults and patients with complex breathing needs across a range of lung conditions.
