Klubdaeng A, Tovichien P. Clinical approach for pulmonary alveolar proteinosis in children. World J Clin Cases 2024; 12:6339-6345.

Abstract
In this editorial, we discuss the clinical implications of the article by Zhang et al. Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare lung disease characterized by excessive surfactant accumulation in the alveoli. It is classified into four categories: Primary, secondary, congenital, and unclassified forms. Primary PAP is caused by the disruption of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) receptor signaling, which is necessary for the clearance of surfactant by alveolar macrophages. It is further divided into autoimmune PAP, caused by anti-GM-CSF antibodies blocking alveolar macrophage activation, and hereditary PAP, resulting from mutations in genes encoding GM-CSF receptors. Secondary PAP develops due to conditions affecting the number or function of alveolar macrophages, such as infections, immunodeficiency, hematological disorders, or exposure to inhaled toxins. Congenital PAP is linked to mutations in genes involved in surfactant protein production. Notably, the causes of PAP differ between children and adults. Diagnostic features include a characteristic "crazy-paving" pattern on high-resolution computed tomography, accompanied by diffuse ground-glass opacities and interlobular septal thickening. The presence of PAP can be identified by the milky appearance of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and histological evaluation. However, these methods cannot definitively determine the cause of PAP. Whole lung lavage remains the standard treatment, often combined with specific therapies based on the underlying cause.

Abstract
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a syndrome that results from the accumulation of lipoproteinaceous material in the alveolar space. According to the underlying pathogenetic mechanisms, three different forms have been identified, namely primary, secondary and congenital. Primary PAP is caused by disruption of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) signalling due to the presence of neutralising autoantibodies (autoimmune PAP) or GM-CSF receptor genetic defects (hereditary PAP), which results in dysfunctional alveolar macrophages with reduced phagocytic clearance of particles, cholesterol and surfactant. The serum level of GM-CSF autoantibody is the only disease-specific biomarker of autoimmune PAP, although it does not correlate with disease severity. In PAP patients with normal serum GM-CSF autoantibody levels, elevated serum GM-CSF levels is highly suspicious for hereditary PAP. Several biomarkers have been correlated with disease severity, although they are not specific for PAP. These include lactate dehydrogenase, cytokeratin 19 fragment 21.1, carcinoembryonic antigen, neuron-specific enolase, surfactant proteins, Krebs von Lungen 6, chitinase-3-like protein 1 and monocyte chemotactic proteins. Finally, increased awareness of the disease mechanisms has led to the development of pathogenesis-based treatments, such as GM-CSF augmentation and cholesterol-targeting therapies.

Abstract
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is an ultra-rare disease caused by impaired pulmonary surfactant clearance due to the dysfunction of alveolar macrophages or their signaling pathways. PAP is categorized into autoimmune, congenital, and secondary PAP, with autoimmune PAP being the most prevalent. This article aims to present a comprehensive review of PAP classification, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnostics, and treatment. The literature search was conducted using the PubMed database and a total of 67 articles were selected. The PAP diagnosis is usually based on clinical symptoms, radiological imaging, and bronchoalveolar lavage, with additional GM-CSF antibody tests. The gold standard for PAP treatment is whole-lung lavage. This review presents a summary of the most recent findings concerning pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, pointing out specific features that require further investigation.

Abstract
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a monogenic disorder cause by mutations in the CF Transmembrane Regulator (CFTR) gene. The prognosis of cystic fibrosis has been transformed by the discovery of highly effective modulator therapies (HEMT). Treatment has changed from reactive therapy dealing with complications of the disease to pro-active correction of the underlying molecular functional abnormality. This has come about by discovering the detailed biology of the different CF molecular sub-endotypes; the development of biomarkers to assess response even in mild disease or young children; the performance of definitive large randomised controlled trials in patients with a common mutation and the development of in vitro testing systems to test efficacy in those patients with rare CFTR mutations. As a result, CF is now an umbrella term, rather than a specific diagnostic label; we have moved from clinical phenotypes to molecular subendotypes. Children's Interstitial Lung Diseases (chILDs) comprise more than 200 entities, and are a diverse group of diseases, for an increasing number of which an underlying gene mutation has been discovered. Many of these entities are umbrella terms, such as pulmonary alveolar proteinosis or hypersensitivity pneumonitis, for each of which there are multiple and very different endotypes. Even those chILDs for which a specific gene mutation has been discovered comprise, as with CF, different molecular subendotypes likely mandating different therapies. For most chILDs, current treatment is non-specific (corticosteroids, azithromycin, hydroxychloroquine). The variability of the different entities means that there is little evidence for the efficacy of any treatment. This review considers how some of the lessons of the success story of CF are being applied to chILD, thus opening the opportunities for truly personalised medicine in these conditions. Advances in knowledge in the molecular biology of surfactant protein C and Adenosine triphosphate binding cassette subfamily A member 3 (ABCA3), and the possibilities of discovering novel therapies by in vitro studies will especially be highlighted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) and X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) are rare diseases in children. Many theories infer that immunodeficiency can induce PAP, but these reports are almost all review articles, and there is little clinical evidence. We report the case of a child with both PAP and XLA. CASE SUMMARY A 4-month-old boy sought medical treatment due to coughing and difficulty in breathing for > 2 wk. He had been hospitalized multiple times due to respiratory infections and diarrhea. Chest computed tomography and alveolar lavage fluid showed typical PAP-related manifestations. Genetic testing confirmed that the boy also had XLA. Following total lung alveolar lavage and intravenous immunoglobulin replacement therapy, the boy recovered and was discharged. During the follow-up period, the number of respiratory infections was significantly reduced, and PAP did not recur. CONCLUSION XLA can induce PAP and improving immune function contributes to the prognosis of children with this type of PAP.

Abstract
Childhood interstitial lung disease (chILD) is a large and heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by diffuse lung parenchymal markings on chest imaging and clinical signs such as dyspnea and hypoxemia from functional impairment. While some children already present in the neonatal period with interstitial lung disease (ILD), others develop ILD during their childhood and adolescence. A timely and accurate diagnosis is essential to gauge treatment and improve prognosis. Supportive care can reduce symptoms and positively influence patients' quality of life; however, there is no cure for many of the chILDs. Current therapeutic options include anti-inflammatory or immunosuppressive drugs. Due to the rarity of the conditions and paucity of research in this field, most treatments are empirical and based on case series, and less than a handful of small, randomized trials have been conducted thus far. A trial on hydroxychloroquine yielded good safety but a much smaller effect size than anticipated. A trial in fibrotic disease with the multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor nintedanib showed similar pharmacokinetics and safety as in adults. The unmet need for the treatment of chILDs remains high. This article summarizes current treatments and explores potential therapeutic options for patients suffering from chILD.

Abstract
Whole lung lavage (WLL) is the first-line treatment for pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. We hypothesized that lung ultrasound (LUS) would guide flooding during treatment in a 15-year-old boy. WLL of each lung consisted of instillation of saline followed by kinesiotherapy and fluid drainage. In the first WLL, the lung was repeatedly flooded until the lavage fluid was clear on macroscopic examination. During this process, LUS was used to visualise lung aeration. In the second WLL, we used LUS signs to guide the lavage volume. The appearance of the fluid bronchogram sign showed that saline infusion could be stopped earlier than in the first lavage. In conclusion, LUS helped monitor the different stages of controlled lung de-aeration during WLL and reduce the total amount of saline used. This technique will also reduce the risk of WLL-related complications.

Abstract
Childhood interstitial lung disease (chILD) is a heterogeneous group of diseases with various clinical and imaging findings. The incidence and prevalence have increased in recent years, probably due to better comprehension of these rare diseases and increased awareness among physicians. chILDs present with nonspecific pulmonary symptoms, such as tachypnea, hypoxemia, cough, rales, and failure to thrive. Unnecessary invasive procedures can be avoided if specific mutations are detected through genetic examinations or if typical imaging patterns are recognized on computed tomography. Disease knowledge and targeted therapies are improving through international collaboration. Pulmonary involvement in systemic diseases is not uncommon. Pulmonary involvement may be the first finding in connective tissue diseases. This review aims to present a systematic patient-targeted approach to the diagnosis of chILD.

Genetics in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: A Clinical Perspective. Diagnostics (Basel) 2022; 12:2928. [PMID: 36552935 PMCID: PMC9777433 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics12122928] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2022] [Revised: 11/17/2022] [Accepted: 11/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Unraveling the genetic background in a significant proportion of patients with both sporadic and familial IPF provided new insights into the pathogenic pathways of pulmonary fibrosis. AIM The aim of the present study is to overview the clinical significance of genetics in IPF. PERSPECTIVE It is fascinating to realize the so-far underestimated but dynamically increasing impact that genetics has on aspects related to the pathophysiology, accurate and early diagnosis, and treatment and prevention of this devastating disease. Genetics in IPF have contributed as no other in unchaining the disease from the dogma of a "a sporadic entity of the elderly, limited to the lungs" and allowed all scientists, but mostly clinicians, all over the world to consider its many aspects and "faces" in all age groups, including its co-existence with several extra pulmonary conditions from cutaneous albinism to bone-marrow and liver failure. CONCLUSION By providing additional evidence for unsuspected characteristics such as immunodeficiency, impaired mucus, and surfactant and telomere maintenance that very often co-exist through the interaction of common and rare genetic variants in the same patient, genetics have created a generous and pluralistic yet unifying platform that could lead to the understanding of the injurious and pro-fibrotic effects of many seemingly unrelated extrinsic and intrinsic offending factors. The same platform constantly instructs us about our limitations as well as about the heritability, the knowledge and the wisdom that is still missing.

Abstract
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) describes the accumulation of surfactant in the alveolar space. Secondary PAP has been reported in a variety of diseases, and in rare cases has been associated with hematologic malignancy. Treatment for PAP is based on the underlying disease process, and may include whole lung lavage, inhaled or subcutaneous granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, or statins. PAP secondary to hematologic malignancy has been reported to demonstrate poor response to whole lung lavage. We report a case of successful treatment of a pediatric patient with acute myeloid leukemia and secondary PAP using whole lung lavage.

Abstract
The hereditary form of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is an uncommon entity. We report a case of PAP due to colony-stimulating factor 2 receptor alpha (CSF2RA) gene mutation. The standard of care includes whole lung lavage (WLL). We faced two challenges: Firstly, a severely hypoxemic patient, and secondly, the nonavailability of appropriate size of double-lumen endotracheal tube for pediatric patients for a WLL while permitting single-lung ventilation. Hence, we performed WLL using venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) with a successful outcome. The patient has been discharged and is off oxygen support since more than a year. There are only a few case reports of children having hereditary PAP treated with WLL using ECMO in Indian and Western literature.

Abstract
A girl with a known chromosomal deletion at Xp22.33, learning difficulties and short stature presented with dyspnea and dry cough and an abnormal chest X-ray. Computed tomography was typical for pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP), and the diagnosis was confirmed invasively. More detailed genetic analysis detected a homozygous deletion of the colony-stimulating factor-2-receptor alpha subunit (CSF2RA) gene. In this patient, the Xp22.33 deletion affected 8 genes, including CSF2RA, leading to GM-CSF receptor dysfunction and hereditary PAP. This is the first report of childhood interstitial lung disease (chILD) as collateral damage from a large chromosomal deletion.
