RESUMO
A case of pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis and a case of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis in West Indian patients are described. A course of therapy with a chelating agent produced no roentgenologic improvement in alveolar microlithiasis. The pathology of these diseases is briefly reviewed, and the possible interrelations of pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis, pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, and pulmonary corpora amylacea are discussed (Summary)
