Abstract
A 55 years old male suffered from persistent cough and sputa for two years. On the admission, creptations were audible on the both lungs and the breathing sounds were weak. Serum gammaglobulin was increased. On the chest X-ray film, many large and samll bulla were recognized at the both lung fields. The irregulation of the bronchial wall were revealed on the bronchography and the peripheral pooling were seen on the aleolarography. Antibody for the lung tissue and the the thyroid gland were negative.
This patient was examined on immunologically, thinking the autoimmune relationship between hypothyroidism and pulmonary multiple bullosis with hypergammaglobulinemia, but these finding detected no singnificance obvious evidence.
