Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kyphoscoliosis, or abnormal curvature of the spine, is a common complication in children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. This can lead to restrictive lung disease and decreased lung capacity, making them more prone to pulmonary complications such as infections and respiratory failure. Chronic heart failure, impaired formation of alveoli, and anemia are not typically associated with pulmonary complications in children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
