[The specific pulmonary manifestations of acute myeloid leukaemia].
BACKGROUND
In the course of acute myeloid leukaemias, pulmonary manifestations constitute diagnostic and therapeutic emergencies and contribute to the morbidity and mortality at all stages of these diseases.


BACKGROUND
Specific lung involvement mainly affects patients at the onset of their disease. The characteristics of such manifestations are poorly known and have rarely been the object of dedicated publications.


CONCLUSIONS
The purpose of this work thus is to review the literature on the various specific lung manifestations occurring in the course of acute myeloid leukaemias.
