Spontaneous pneumothorax and alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency.

R Daniel1, L Teba.   

Abstract

Spontaneous pneumothorax has been observed in patients with abnormal levels of alpha 1-antitrypsin. We report the case of a young woman with a low level of alpha 1-antitrypsin who presented with recurrent episodes of spontaneous pneumothorax and who required pleuroscopy, apical lung resection, and pleurodesis.
