Maria L Antunes 1, J M Vieira Da Luz 1
PMCID: PMC471971  PMID: 5810372

Abstract

A case of diffuse tracheo-bronchial amyloidosis in a 62-year-old woman thought to have chronic bronchitis is reported. The immunological mechanism in the pathogenesis of this condition is considered and the need for bronchological investigation in chronic bronchial disorders is stressed.
