Total lung lavage by awake flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope in a 13-year-old girl with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis
چکیده انگلیسی

SummaryPulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare, heterogeneous diffuse lung disease in childhood. We report a case of an asymptomatic 13-year old girl with PAP. She had radiolographic findings suggesting the diagnosis, which was confirmed by the “milky” bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and the histology of transbronchial biopsy. Total lung lavage was performed by flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope under local anesthesia with success. This is the first reported case of a PAP in a child that was treated by being awake during bronchoscopy. After one-year of follow-up, the patient remains free of symptoms.
