Don’t miss the upcoming Innovation Theater sponsored by Savara

Join Dr. Kevin Davidson, MD, FCCP for an update on autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (aPAP), covering pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management.

Following the presentation, Dr. Jeff Sippel, MD, will moderate a discussion blending clinical insights with the lived experience of Kelsea, a patient advocate living with aPAP.

Date: Monday, May 18th
Time: 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM EDT
Location: Innovation Theater 6 inside the Exhibit Hall

Lunch will be provided by the American Thoracic Society.

Undiagnosed aPAP can increase clinical burden^1,2 It takes an average of 18 months for someone to be diagnosed accurately with aPAP.³ When you see^1,4,5:

Common chronic pulmonary symptoms
An abnormal CT scan
Pulmonary infections that are refractory to treatment

Then, it’s time to consider testing for GM-CSF autoantibodies.^3,6
