Asbestos bodies in bronchoalveolar lavage in relation to asbestos bodies and asbestos fibres in lung parenchyma.
In Finland, unlike other countries, anthophyllite asbestos has been widely used due to its domestic production in 1918-1975. In this particular context, the aim of the present study was to analyse the relationship between asbestos bodies (ABs) in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and the concentration of ABs and the different amphibole asbestos fibres in lung tissue. Sixty five BAL lung tissue...
متن کاملAsbestos bodies in bronchoalveolar lavage reflect lung asbestos body concentration.
Asbestos body (AB) countings on both bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluids and digested lung tissue samples were performed in one hundred consecutive subjects submitted to a thoracotomy procedure, mostly for lung carcinoma. A good correlation (r = 0.73) was found between the two groups of values for the total group of subjects. When restrictive selection criteria were taken into account, such as ...
متن کاملPulmonary asbestos bodies and asbestos fibers as indicators of exposure.
OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to analyze the correlation between pulmonary concentrations of asbestos bodies and asbestos fibers and to characterize asbestos body counts from lung tissue of Finnish patients occupationally exposed and unexposed to asbestos. METHODS Ninety-nine surgically treated lung cancer patients were investigated. The number of asbestos bodies in iron-stained 5-micro...
متن کاملIII BRONCHIAL CARCINOMA SHOWING ASBESTOS BODIES Case
SYNOPSIS This study was made in Glasgow, Scotland, near an industrial area where ship building is an important industry. Asbestos bodies were found in 23% of 100 consecutive hospital necropsies, bodies were present in 37% of the 62 males, none were found in 38 females. These findings are compared with results of other similar surveys. In 85-4% of cases showing asbestos bodies, hyaline pleural p...
متن کاملRelevance of asbestos bodies in sputum.
The presence of asbestos bodies (ABs) in sputum specimens of individuals with occupational asbestos exposure has been well-documented. The aim of this study was to determine their clinical relevance in comparison to the concentration of AB in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and lung tissue. Subjects were included following a well-documented exposure of asbestos history (n = 93) or BAL fluid analys...
