Oxford Comma
suggestion

"Clinical presentation is usually with non-specific respiratory symptoms such as dyspnoea and/or a minimally-productive cough. Approximately one-third of patients may be asymptomatic. In children, the presentation is often less clearly respiratory in nature, with diarrhoea, vomiting, failure to thrive and even cyanosis being more common 6. Symptoms may also be due to superadded opportunistic infections. Signs include crackles on auscultation, clubbing or cyanosis."

Line 6:447 · Use the Oxford comma in 'auscultation, clubbing or cyanosis'.

"Pleural effusions, cardiomegaly and lymphadenopathy are usually not features of uncomplicated pulmonary alveolar proteinosis."

Line 82:12 · Use the Oxford comma in 'effusions, cardiomegaly and lymphadenopathy'.
