[Alveolar proteinosis and acute leucosis. One observation (author's transl)].

The authors observed a pulmonary alvelolar proteinosis in an 11 years old child with acute leucosis. They underlined the exceptional character of this association in a child, while it is known in the adult and almost always with a bad prognosis. A dysimmunity context linked to a hematological disease and/or its treatment, is favoured among the pathogenic hypotheses.
