Iron homeostasis and oxidative stress in idiopathic pulmonary alveolar proteinosis: a case-control study

BACKGROUND: Lung injury caused by both inhaled dusts and infectious agents depends on increased availability of iron and metal-catalyzed oxidative stress. Because inhaled particles, such as silica, and certain infections can cause secondary pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP), we tested the hypothe...
