The authors report the case of a 43 years old male with severe alveolar proteinosis : after failure of various treatments, they attempted a pulmonary lavage, using a fiberscope. The instrument was directed towards each lobar bronchus, one after the other, with a total of 20 lavages during a period of 4 months. A saline isotonic solution was imposed through the fiberscope then collected using air vacuum. The results were satisfactory, this patient living his normal life since july 1976. The clinical, radiological, biological data remain normal on April 1978.
作者报告了一例43岁患有严重肺泡蛋白沉积症的男性病例：在各种治疗均告失败后，他们尝试使用纤维支气管镜进行肺灌洗。该器械依次指向每个叶支气管，在4个月的时间里共进行了20次灌洗。通过纤维支气管镜注入等渗盐溶液，然后利用空气抽吸收集。结果令人满意，自1976年7月起该患者过上了正常生活。1978年4月时，临床、放射学及生物学数据均保持正常。
