This report describes two patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) in whom respiratory failure and opportunistic infection associated with secondary alveolar proteinosis developed. In one patient, the alveolar proteinosis was apparently secondary to Mycobacterium tuberculosis and in the other to Pneumocystis carinii and cytomegalovirus infection. Both patients died of respiratory failure, and it was suspected that secondary alveolar proteinosis could have been a contributing cause of death.
本报告描述了两名获得性免疫缺陷综合征（艾滋病）患者，他们出现了呼吸衰竭以及与继发性肺泡蛋白沉积症相关的机会性感染。在一名患者中，肺泡蛋白沉积症显然继发于结核分枝杆菌，而在另一名患者中则继发于卡氏肺孢子虫和巨细胞病毒感染。两名患者均死于呼吸衰竭，怀疑继发性肺泡蛋白沉积症可能是导致死亡的一个因素。
