Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis: a possible sequel of NO2 exposure

S A Dawkins et al. J Occup Med. 1991 May.

Abstract

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis was diagnosed via bronchoscopy in a patient. There was no previous history of inhalation dust exposure. NO2 has been implicated in pulmonary alveolar proteinosis development in animal models. In this case, the diffusion capacity was a sensitive indicator of the disease process.
