  • Alveolar capillary dysplasia with misalignment of pulmonary veins
  • Alveolar hemorrhage syndromes:
    • Pulmonary capillaritis
    • Acute idiopathic pulmonary hemorrhage of infancy
    • Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis
  • Aspiration syndromes
  • Autoimmune-related lung disease
  • Bronchiolitis obliterans
