title: [Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis in a patient with urolithiasis and cholelithiasis].
abstract: 49 years old woman was admitted to Pulmonary Ward because of respiratory and cardiac failure. Six years earlier she was surgically treated because of urolithiasis and at this time disseminated lesions in both lungs were revealed. Biopsy made during transbronchial procedure showed microlithiasis. She had'nt any respiratory symptoms during 6 years. Now she had PaO2 = 36 mmHg and massive infiltrations in whole lungs. Palliative therapy with diuresis, cardiac drugs and oxygen therapy diminished symptoms of respiratory and cardiac failure.
