Abstract:
Mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) is a syndrome
with complex genetics and diverse manifestations. Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage is caused by alveolar
microcirculation injury associated with lung illness or systemic disorders. To date, the relationship
between diffuse alveolar hemorrhage and MELAS has not been reported. We report a MELAS patient
who presented complications with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage.
