Summary: Whole lung lavage represents a possible therapeutic method in pulmonary alveolar proteinosis which can lead to an improvement of blood oxygenation in the lungs.

The whole lung lavage led to the improvement of dyspnoe and arterial blood gases. Whole lung lavage leads to the improvement of clinical status in patients with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis.
