Bronchoalveolar lavage in HIV infected patients with interstitial pneumonitis.
The value of taking microbiological and cytological specimens by flexible bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage under local anaesthesia was assessed on 43 occasions in 35 HIV infected children, aged 3 months to 16 years, with interstitial pneumonitis. In acute interstitial pneumonitis (n = 22, 26 specimens from bronchoalveolar lavages) the microbiological yield was 73%, Pneumocystis carinii b...
متن کاملBronchoalveolar lavage fluid findings in children with hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) has been shown to be useful in the diagnosis of hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) in adults, the typical constellation being lymphocytosis with a decrease in the CD4/CD8 ratio. Only limited data exist for the diagnostic value of BAL cytology in paediatric patients with this disorder. Children aged 6-15 yrs (n=9) with acute HP were studied. BAL was performed before i...
متن کاملBronchoalveolar lavage in liquid paraffin pneumonitis.
We evaluated cells and lipids recovered in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from seven patients with liquid paraffin pneumonitis. For each patient, the BALF was whitish with oil droplets on the surface. Alveolar macrophages contained numerous, large vacuoles that did not react with May-Grunwald-Giemsa, Papanicolaou, or periodic acid-Schiff but were stained in black with Sudan B, orange with Sud...
متن کاملValue of bronchoalveolar lavage in the management of severe acute pneumonia and interstitial pneumonitis in the immunocompromised child.
The diagnostic value of 73 bronchoalveolar lavages was assessed in 67 immunocompromised children (aged 3 months to 16 years) with pulmonary infiltrates. Thirty one children had primary and 19 secondary immune deficiency, 14 acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), and three AIDS related complex. Bronchoalveolar lavage was performed during fibreoptic bronchoscopy, under local anaesthesia in al...
متن کامل[Bronchoalveolar lavage in children].
Bronchoalveolarlavage (BAL) is routinely performed in adults for sampling cellular and biochemical components. Many studies have been performed that have enabled the proposal of recommendations for BAL, methodology and processing, as well as reference values in different clinical settings. In contrast, despite a world-wide increase in the use of BAL in children, including neonates, there are, a...
