Case Report: Whole lung lavage therapy for pulmonary alveolar proteinosis: a double-edged sword

2023-10-18

Abstract excerpt

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is an uncommon disease characterized by the excessive accumulation of lipoprotein material in the alveoli. No uniform treatment existed. However, whole lung lavage (WLL) remains the main treatment. We report the case of a 33-year-old non-smoking man, with no reported history of medical problems, who complained of dyspnea on exertion and cough for over 5 years. A CT scan reveale...
