The lung damage and inflammation found isn't surprising. Wind instrument players who don't keep their equipment clean risk inhaling bacteria and fungi, which will colonize it quickly. Several years ago the British Medical Journal published an article about shortened life expectancy among wind instrument musicians who practised "circular breathing"; those who practise it appear to be at higher risk than the rest of us.
Pete Fountain suffered from respiratory weakness as a child and was told to play clarinet to strengthen his lungs. In his case the prescription seems to have been successful and he lived to age 86.
I'm going to go and clean my mouthpieces now....... ;-D
