alveolar proteinosis - rare lung disease Definition for alveolar proteinosis Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis -(PAP) is a rare lung disease in which abnormal accumulation of surfactant occurs within the alveoli, interfering with gas exchange. more Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis -(PAP) is a rare lung disease in which abnormal accumulation of surfactant occurs within the alveoli, interfering with gas exchange. PAP can occur in a primary form or secondarily in the settings of malignancy (especially in myeloid leukemia), pulmonary infection, or environmental exposure to dusts or chemicals. Rare familial forms have also been recognized, suggesting a genetic component in some cases. less some common symptoms cough difficulty breathing fever malaise some related diagnoses 1 - 7 of 174 diagnoses cor pulmonale tuberculosis pneumonia coccidiodomycosis chronic obstructive pulmonary disease small cell lung carcinoma respiratory acidosis cystic fibrosis   more do i have 'alveolar proteinosis'?
