A 30-year-old woman was examined for a history of exertional breathlessness, swelling of her feet, and a mild dry cough of 4 to 5 months' duration. Her symptoms developed during the last month of her pregnancy, with gradually increasing dyspnea, swelling of the feet, and reduced urinary output. There was no history of expectoration, hemoptysis, chest pain, or tuberculosis. General physical examination showed no evidence of clubbing of the nails or lymphadenopathy. Chest auscultation revealed a few end-inspiratory crepitations at both lung bases. Bronchial alveolar lavage showed calcium particles, whereas results of the transbronchial lung biopsy were consistent with alveolar microlithiasis.
