Core Tip	We present the case of a patient suffering from simultaneous primary pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) and nocardiosis. This case highlights the importance of considering the potential for nocardiosis when evaluating patients presenting with PAP and pulmonary infections. The successful management of our case also shows that active anti-nocardia treatment may effectively alleviate the concomitant PAP and may also reduce the need for whole-lung lavage.
