Abstract
Alveolar proteinosis is a rare disease characterized by the accumulation of a proteinoseous material inside the alveolus. Various forms of treatment have been tried without much success. Pulmonary lavage has been found effective in bringing relief to patients as well as objective amelioration. This presentation describes the technique used and the problems encountered. La protéinose alvéolaire est une maladie rare caractérisée par ľaccumulation ďun matériel protéiné à ľintérieur de ľalvéole pulmonaire. Diverses formes de traitement ont été essayées sans grand succès. Le lavage pulmonaire a soulagé subjectivement le patient et a, par ailleurs, amené une amélioration objective. Cette présentation décrit la technique employée dans le lavage pulmonaire et les problèmes rencontrés.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
