متن کاملOutcome of corticosteroid administration in autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis: a retrospective cohort study
BACKGROUND Although no report has demonstrated the efficacy of corticosteroid therapy for autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (aPAP), we sometimes encounter patients who have received this therapy for various reasons. However, as corticosteroids can suppress alveolar macrophage function, corticosteroid therapy might worsen disease severity and increase the risk of infections. METHODS Fo...
متن کاملRituximab therapy in autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis.
Idiopathic pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is presumed to be an autoimmune disorder that may lead to pulmonary insufficiency. However, steroids do not appear to be effective and the standard of therapy is whole-lung lavage. We report the first case of successful therapy with rituximab, which addresses the pathogenic mechanism of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis.
متن کامل[Response to inhaled granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor in a patient with alveolar proteinosis].
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is a rare disease characterized by the accumulation of lipoproteinaceous material derived from alveolar surfactant in the alveoli, with a consequent deterioration in gas exchange. Pathogenesis is related to impaired phagocytic function of alveolar macrophages. In recent years, a new treatment for pulmonary alveolar proteinosis-consisting of subcutaneous administra...
متن کاملAutoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis co-existing with breast cancer: a case report
INTRODUCTION Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is a rare pulmonary disease characterized by excessive alveolar accumulation of surfactant due to defective alveolar clearance by macrophages. There are only a few published case reports of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis occurring in association with solid cancers. To the best of our knowledge, there are no previously reported cases of pulmonary alveo...
