Additional Information:

Description: (OMIM) Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is a pathologic entity characterized by intraalveolar surfactant accumulation. There are 3 clinically distinct forms: hereditary (usually congenital), secondary, and acquired. The acquired form of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is the most common form, accounting for ...
Clinical Description OMIM Acquired pulmonary alveolar proteinosis was first described by Rosen et al. (1958). There are only rare references to possible familial occurrence (Seard et al., 1970; Tsubura et al., 1974; Webster et al., 1980).

The clinical course ...
