  • Title: [3 siblings with identical, rare pneumopathy].
    Author: Jakob SM, Kraft R, Im Hof V.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr; 1997 Sep 13; 127(37):1528-30. PubMed ID: 9411710.
    Abstract:
    Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis was found in three siblings. Only the youngest of them, a former smoker, developed endstage lung disease. The other two are asymptomatic with normal lung function despite impressive changes on all chest radiographs. The role of smoking in perpetuating microlithiasis and furthering the progression of this disease is discussed.
