title: Protein concentration in pulmonary oedema fluid for negative pressure pulmonary oedema in children.
abstract: We report a case of acute pulmonary oedema following upper airway obstruction in a 1-year-old patient. We discuss the pathophysiology of this infrequent complication of upper airway obstruction and the interest of alveolar protein/blood protein ratio measurement to determine the mechanism of pulmonary oedema.
