29
Q

Disease characterized by accumulation of lipoproteinaceaous material in the alveoli

A

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP)

30
Q

Most common cause of PAP

A

autoimmune (90%) disruption of GM-CSF signaling leading to impaired surfactant metabolism by macrophages

31
Q

33
Q

Treatment of PAP

34
Q

Disease characterized by extensive intraalveolar deposition of concentrically lamellated calcium phosphate spheres

A

Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis

35
Q

Inheritance pattern and gene associated with pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis

A

Autosomal recessive, SLC34A2 gene

36
Q

Mechanism behind pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis

A

SLC34A2 gene mutation leads to lack of type IIb sodium phosphate cotransporter in the lungs, leads to abnormal phosphorus metabolism by type II cells causing calcium phosphate microliths

37
Q

Treatment for pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis

A

none, lung transplant
