Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is an
orphan disease
characterized by the accumulation of excess of surfactant within alveoli and bronchioles. The primary form of PAP (P-PAP; also referred to as idiopathic or autoimmune) is the most common form. It is mediated through a circulating neutralizing antibody against
granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor
. Secondary PAP (S-PAP) can be induced by a host of inciting agents and is far more liable to progress to terminal respiratory failure. We describe a rare case of S-PAP occurring in a renal transplant recipient due to mycophenolate and cyclosporine combination-therapy, which resolved spontaneously following withdrawal of these drugs.
