A nineteen years old male patient was admitted with the complaints of cough, sputum production, dyspnea and fever. There were bilaterally inspiratory fine crackles. The chest radiographs showed bilateral air-space consolidation. On thorax computed tomography; pre-carinal lymph nodes enlargement, ground glass opacities, septal thickening and crazy-paving appearance were determined. Bronchoalveolar lavage was performed and reported was PAP.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCrazy-PavingDyspneaPulmonary alveolar proteinosisArticle342672692-s2.0-7864990724210.1016/j.rmedc.2009.09.022N/A
