Es una enfermedad extremadamente rara. Se han reportado solamente 500 casos en la literatura. Se describi車 por primera vez en 1958. Se presenta un caso de proteinosis alveolar pulmonar en un lactante de 2 meses, con desnutrici車n proteico energ谷tica, que ingresa por dificultad respiratoria e hipoxemia, y, con im芍genes radiol車gicas de tipo ret赤culo-nodulillar, en vidrio deslustrado, en el cual se plantea inicialmente el diagn車stico de bronconeumon赤a.

The pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is a chronic respiratory disease characterized by surfactant metabolism alteration determining its abnormal accumulation in the alveolar space. It is a disease very rare and in literature only 500 cases have been reported; it was described for the first time in 1958. This is a case presentation of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis in an infant aged 2 months with energetic protein malnutrition admitted due to respiratory difficulty and hypoxemia and with radiologic images of the reticulonodulillary, in frosting glass, where initially is made the diagnosis of bronchopneumonia. In the face of unfavorable evolution and no response to treatment, a study was conducted to rule out chronic pulmonary diseases. Patient died confirming the diagnosis according to the pathologic anatomy.
