Introduction: Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare disease caused by accumulation of proteinaceous material in the spaces. The most common mechanism implied development antibodies directed to granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF). which inhibits activation macrophage, thereby causing surfactant. Standard treatment considered be whole lung lavage (WLL).We present case 47 years old woman referred for transplantation because combined fibrosis and emphysema....
