Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis
Conditions
Brief summary
This study aims to explore a new therapeutic approach: the feasibility, safety and preliminary efficacy of directly spraying GM-CSF into the airway through bronchoscopy for the treatment of aPAP.
Interventions
Bronchoscopy under general anesthesia or sedation; The predetermined dose of recombinant GM-CSF was dissolved in normal saline. The diseased lung segments were located through bronchoscopy and the liquid medicine was sprayed.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
1. Age: 18 to 60 years old; 2. A clear diagnosis of aPAP must meet at least one of the following diagnostic criteria: 1\) BALF appears milky white; Or cytological examination reveals a large amount of PAS-positive protein deposition; 2) HRCT shows typical paving stone-like changes; 3) Positive for serum GM-CSF antibody. 3. There are more than one of the following treatment indications: Symptoms such as progressive breathing difficulties, coughing, and shortness of breath after activity occur; 2) Without oxygen inhalation, PaO2 \> 65 mmHg 3) Pulmonary function DLCO accounts for % of the predicted value, ranging from 60% to 80%, including the critical value. 4\. No other PAP specific treatments (such as WLL, inhaled GM-CSF, biological agents, etc.) have been received recently (for more than 4 weeks). 5\. Agree to participate in this study and sign the informed consent form.
