Figure 1

During the clinical course of aPAP in this patient, HRCT images showed increased evidence of pulmonary fibrosis: reticular opacity (arrows) and traction bronchiectasis (arrowheads). (A) Serum MPO-ANCA testing became positive and then increased significantly (circle), while the results of pulmonary function tests, including vital capacity (VC, diamond) and CO diffusing capacity (DLCO, square), deteriorated. Serum anti-GM-CSF antibody concentrations kept high and increased (B).
