Xi 'an Men's Chest Pain Hospital refused to send text messages.

A man in Xi 'an actually washed out 17 liters of milk in his lungs. When he saw the news, many people were surprised and had never even seen it. At the same time, I am worried about what disease it is, which can cause 17 kg of milk-like substance to be washed out when cleaning the lungs. In fact, this condition is called alveolar proteinosis. Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is a disease characterized by a large amount of pulmonary surfactant deposition in alveolar cavity. This disease is relatively rare in clinic, and the lesions are limited to the lungs, so attention should be paid to it. What is the cure rate of this disease?

There is no special treatment for this disease, but generally speaking, 60%~70% of adult patients can recover on their own, but 20%~25% of them die of respiratory failure within 5 years. However, this set of data is mainly aimed at adults. If the child has this disease, the mortality rate is almost 100%.

What are the symptoms of this disease?

For patients with this kind of disease, shortness of breath and expectoration will occur after sexual activity. If the situation continues to deteriorate, especially after infection, the amount of sputum will increase significantly and it will be purulent. Moreover, some patients will have symptoms of fever, chest pain and hemoptysis. If this kind of disease is not controlled or treated in time, it will show symptoms such as dyspnea in the later stage. If the situation worsens, it will even manifest as respiratory failure, causing a series of serious diseases.

Content summary.

The cure rate of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is mainly differentiated according to adults and children. Generally speaking, 60%~70% of adults will recover on their own, but 20%~25% will die of the disease. If the child suffers from this disease, the mortality rate can be as high as 100%. Therefore, when patients have this symptom, they must go to the local hospital in time, find the problem as soon as possible, and treat it as soon as possible, so as to effectively control the disease and avoid the delay of the disease.
