We report a case of PAP which proved to be fatal despite whole lung lavage. The need for early BAL and transbronchial biopsies in diffuse infìltrative lung disorders of unknown etiology is highlighted. The occurrence of PAP in association with Fanconi’s anemia and psoriasis raises the possibility of a common pathogenetic defect which may be related to abnormal cytokine metabolism. Investigation of cytokine metabolism in PAP is warranted. |
