Alveolar proteinosis and nocardiosis: a patient treated by bronchopulmonary lavage

J Pascual et al. Postgrad Med J. 1989 Sep.

Abstract

Alveolar proteinosis is a relatively rare disease of unclear pathogenesis associated with opportunistic-infections. Although nocardiosis is the most frequent one, only 22 cases have been reported previously and are reviewed here. We present a patient with alveolar proteinosis with nocardiosis treated as an emergency with bilateral bronchopulmonary lavage and antibiotics. No previous cases of this association have been successfully managed in this way.
