Amyloidosis is a pathological deposition disease that causes a spectrum of organ dysfunction. Pulmonary involvement is generally associated with immunoglobulin light chain type (AL) amyloid. Transthyretin (ATTR) amyloid build up in the lung is thought to be a senile disease observed usually as a finding at autopsy. We describe a case of pulmonary ATTR amyloidosis with concurrent mycobacterial tuberculosis infection.
淀粉样变性是一种导致一系列器官功能障碍的病理性沉积疾病。肺部受累通常与免疫球蛋白轻链型(AL)淀粉样变性有关。甲状腺素运载蛋白(ATTR)淀粉样蛋白在肺部的积聚被认为是一种通常在尸检时发现的老年疾病。我们描述了一例并发分枝杆菌性肺结核感染的肺部ATTR淀粉样变性病例。
