==Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis==
==Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis==
*Abbreviated ''PAP''.
*Abbreviated ''PAP''.
===General===
{{Main|Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis}}
*Associated with smoking - particularily in men.<ref name=pmid14695413>{{cite journal |author=Trapnell BC, Whitsett JA, Nakata K |title=Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis |journal=N. Engl. J. Med. |volume=349 |issue=26 |pages=2527-39 |year=2003 |month=December |pmid=14695413 |doi=10.1056/NEJMra023226 |url=http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/extract/349/26/2527}}</ref>
 
Pathophysiology:
*GM-CSF (granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor) signaling in macrophages/lack of GM-CSF.
**GM-CSF is required by alveolar macrophages to clear surfactant.
 
Classification:<ref name=pmid14695413/>
#Congenital:
#**Abnormal surfactant.
#**GM-CSF receptor defect.
#Secondary:
#*Infections.
#*Haematologic malignancy.
#Acquired:
#*Dusts - interfere with macrophage function.
 
Clinical:
*Dyspnea & cough - gradual onset.
 
====Radiology====
*CXR: airspace disease.
*HRCT: "crazy paving" - see: [http://radiographics.rsnajnls.org/cgi/content/figsonly/23/6/1509 http://radiographics.rsnajnls.org/cgi/content/figsonly/23/6/1509].
 
===Microscopic===
Features:
*Crap in the alveoli:
*"Dense bodies" - dead macrophages ("Chatter" in the alveoli).
**Edema - has pink stuff in the alveoli like PAP but no ''dense bodies''.
 
DDx - may mimic:<ref>{{Ref PPP|248}}</ref>
*[[Pulmonary edema]].
*[[Pneumocystis pneumonia]] - exudates foamy & vacuolated.
*Pulmonary hemorrhage (acute). (???)
