Abstract
We describe three persons in one family with diffuse lung infiltrates, digital clubbing, and chronic hypoxia. Elevated immunoglobulin levels and antinuclear antibodies were found in all patients; pathologic findings included hyperplastic lymphoid follicles infiltrating the epithelium of the small airways. These cases may represent a familial systemic autoimmune disorder seen primarily with pulmonary compromise.
