==Overview==
==Overview==
'''Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis''' -(PAP) is a rare [[lung]] [[disease]] in which abnormal accumulation of [[surfactant]] occurs within the [[alveoli]], interfering with [[gas exchange]].  PAP can occur in a primary form or secondarily in the settings of malignancy (especially in myeloid [[leukemia]]), pulmonary infection, or environmental exposure to dusts or chemicals.  Rare familial forms have also been recognized, suggesting a [[genetics|genetic]] component in some cases. <ref>Rosen SH, Castleman B, and Liebow AA.

==Historical Perspective==
==Historical Perspective==
PAP was first described in 1958 by the physicians Samuel Rosen, Benjamin Castleman, and Averill Liebow.  In their case series published in the [[New England Journal of Medicine]] on June 7th of that year, they described 27 patients with pathologic evidence of [[periodic acid Schiff]] positive material filling the alveoli.  This [[lipid]] rich material was subsequently recognized to be [[surfactant]]. 
 
==Classification==


==Pathophysiology==
==Pathophysiology==
Although the cause of PAP remains obscure, a major breakthrough in the understanding of the [[etiology]] of the disease came by the chance observation that mice bred for experimental study to lack a hematologic [[growth factor]] known as [[Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor|granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF)]] developed a pulmonary [[syndrome]] of abnormal surfactant accumulation resembling human PAP.  The implications of this finding are still being explored, but significant progress was reported in February, 2007.  Researchers in that report discussed the presence of anti-[[GM-CSF]] [[autoantibodies]] in patients with PAP, and duplicated that [[syndrome]] with the infusion of these [[autoantibodies]] into mice. <ref>{{cite journal |author=Uchida K, Beck D, Yamamoto T, Berclaz P, Abe S, Staudt M, Carey B, Filippi M, Wert S, Denson L, Puchalski J, Hauck D, Trapnell B |title=GM-CSF autoantibodies and neutrophil dysfunction in pulmonary alveolar proteinosis |journal=N Engl J Med |volume=356 |issue=6 |pages=567-79 |year=2007 |pmid=17287477}}</ref>


==Causes==
==Causes==
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is an idiopathic disease, but studies have linked causes to production of antibodies that neutralize GM-CSF, [[granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor]]. Occasionally, development of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is related to exposure of toxic substances, such as inorganic dusts, infection with [[Pneumocystis jirovecii]], certain cancers, and immunosuppressants. It rarely occurs in newborns.


There are several types of clinical forms of [[Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis]]; primary, secondary, and congenital. Primary PAP involves high levels of antibodies that neutralize GM-CSF, [[granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor]]. Secondary PAP occurs from clinical conditions that reduce the numbers and functions of alveolar macrophages. Congenital PAP is due to genetic mutations in the genes encoding surfactant proteins of the receptor for [[granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor]].<ref name="pmid14695413">{{cite journal| author=Trapnell BC, Whitsett JA, Nakata K| title=Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. | journal=N Engl J Med | year= 2003 | volume= 349 | issue= 26 | pages= 2527-39 | pmid=14695413 | doi=10.1056/NEJMra023226 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=14695413  }} </ref>

===History and Symptoms===


==Natural History==
===Physical Examination===
The clinical course of PAP is unpredictable. Spontaneous remission is recognized; some patients have stable symptoms.
==Complications==
Death may occur due to progression of PAP or due to the underlying disease associated with PAP. Individuals with PAP are more vulnerable to [[pneumonia|infection of the lung]] by [[bacterium|bacteria]] or [[fungi]].
==Prognosis==


==History and Symptoms==
===Laboratory Findings===
The [[symptoms]] of PAP include:
*[[Dyspnea]]<ref name="pmid14695413">{{cite journal| author=Trapnell BC, Whitsett JA, Nakata K| title=Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. | journal=N Engl J Med | year= 2003 | volume= 349 | issue= 26 | pages= 2527-39 | pmid=14695413 | doi=10.1056/NEJMra023226 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=14695413  }} </ref>
*[[Cough]]
*[[Sputum]]
*[[Fatigue]]
*[[Fever]]
*[[Anorexia]]
*[[Hemoptysis]]
*[[Crackles]]
*[[Cyanosis]]
*[[Clubbing]]
 
==Chest X Ray==
Classic radiographic finding is bilateral, symmetric [[alveolar]] [[consolidation]] or ground-glass opacity, particularly in a [[perihilar]] or [[hilar]] distribution resembling [[pulmonary edema]].
 
==CT==
* CT typically shows diffuse ground-glass attenuation with superimposed crazy-paving pattern (intra- and interlobular septal thickening, often in polygonal shapes representing the secondary pulmonary lobule).

==Other Diagnostic Studies==
[[Diagnosis]] is generally made by surgical or endoscopic [[biopsy]] of the lung, revealing the distinctive pathologic finding.
=== Histopathological Findings: Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis===
 
{{#ev:youtube|L9fVRzcPkEQ}}
 
==Medical Therapy==
The use of [[GM-CSF]] injections has also been attempted, with variable success.
 
==Surgery==
The standard treatment for PAP is whole-lung [[lavage]], in which sterile fluid is instilled into the lung and then removed, along with the abnormal [[surfactant]] material.  This is generally effective at ameliorating symptoms, often for prolonged periods. Lung [[transplantation]] can be performed in refractory cases.
