      A 24-year-old woman presented with dyspnea that had progressed to dyspnea at rest and cough with scarce white sputum during the second trimester of pregnancy. Her medical history was relevant only for pericarditis, and she denied smoking. During her hospitalization, the fetus was delivered after lung maturation. Open lung biopsy was then performed, and the patient was diagnosed with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP). She then underwent sequential whole-lung lavage, and the dyspnea improved significantly. This case is another example of the safety and efficacy of whole-lung lavage in the treatment of of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis.
