Neutralizing GM-CSF autoantibodies in pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, cryptococcal meningitis and severe nocardiosis

Respiratory Research, 2022
Background Anti GM-CSF autoantibodies (aAb) have been related to acquired pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) and described in cases of severe infections such as cryptococcosis and nocardiosis in previously healthy subjects.
