ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

A 4 year 7 month-old girl of consanguineous parents presented with only fever for 25 days but no cough or respiratory distress. Ches x-ray showed bilateral diffuse nodulo-striate opacities in both lungs. Investigations for any infection were negative including tuberculosis. Thoracoscopic biopsy showed alveolar microliths on histopathology suggesting the diagnosis of pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis (PAM).
