چکیده
|
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (pap) is a rare lung disease where periodic acid schiff (pas)-positive eosinophilic material accumulates in the alveoli of the lungs. here we describe two cases of young males who presented with dynpnoea and weight loss. the hrct scan of the chest in both cases showed the typical crazy-paving pattern and lung biopsies confirmed the diagnosis of pap. they showed remarkable symptomatic improvement with therapeutic whole lung lavage. © 2017,pakistan medical association. all rights reserved.
