title: [Problems of diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary thesaurismosis].
abstract: The paper concerns rare forms of pulmonary thesaurismosis which are a frequent cause of misdiagnosis: 5 cases of alveolar proteinosis and 1 with alveolar microlithiasis are reported. Lung biopsy (open or transbronchial) is indicated for verification of the diagnosis. Further investigations to try radical therapy of the disease are needed in view of short-term effects of commonly used bronchoalveolar lavage, endolymphatic chymotrypsin in combination with heparin.
