Abstract

A 46-year-old male patient was admitted with complaints of cough and dyspnea for three months. The patient received twice anti-tuberculosis therapy within the past eight years. Bilaterally diffuse acinar shadows were observed with a tendency of coalescence on chest X-ray. Diagnostic bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage were performed for common areas and a crazy-paving pattern of a glass appearance on high-resolution chest computed tomography and white, opaque looking lavage fluid was detected. The bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and radiological findings suggested pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. The bronchoalveolar lavage was performed on the patient with hypoxia. A significant improvement in radiogical findings of chest X-ray in the same day was observed with improved hypoxia. One week later, the therapeutic procedure was performed for the other lobe. The patient is still under follow-up.

Özet

Kırk altı yaşında erkek hasta, üç aydır devam eden öksürük ve nefes darlığı şikâyetleri ile başvurdu. Son 8 yılda iki kez akciğer tüberkülozu nedeniyle tedavisi almıştı. Akciğer grafisinde bilateral yaygın, birleşme eğiliminde olan asiner gölgeler izleniyordu. Yüksek rezolüsyonlu akciğer tomografisinde yaygın buzlu cam alanları ve kaldırım taşı görünümü izlenmesi nedeni ile tanısal amaçlı bronkoskopi ve BAL yapıldı, opak-beyaz görünümlü lavaj sıvısı izlendi. BAL sıvısının görünümü ve radyolojik bulguların ışığında hasta pulmoner alveoler proteinozis olarak değerlendirildi. Hipoksisi olan hastaya tedavi amaçlı olarak BAL işlemi yapıldı. Aynı gün içinde çekilen akciğer grafisinde radyolojik bulgularda anlamlı düzelme ve hastanın mevcut hipoksisinde iyileşme izlendi. Bir hafta sonra diğer akciğeri için tedavi edici BAL işlemi tekrarlandı. Hasta takibe alındı.
