Interpretation of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid cytology
Background-Recently, we showed that it is possible to distinguish between three common interstitial lung diseases (ILD) with similarities in clinical presentation by using a number of selected variables derived from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) analysis. The aim of this study was to develop a more general discriminant model, based on polychotomous logistic regression analysis. Study desi...
متن کاملBronchoalveolar Lavage: Tests and Applications
Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is a diagnostic procedure used for re covering cellular and non-cellular components of the epithelial lining fl uid of the alveolar and bronchial airspaces. Non-bronchoscopic BAL involves the insertion of simple catheters or balloon-type devices through an endotracheal tube, while bronchoscopic BAL involves the instillation and immediate withdrawal of pre-warmed ste...
متن کاملTherapeutic applications of bronchoalveolar lavage.
The value of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in the exploration and management of interstitial lung diseases is now well-established, and has recently been updated in reports of the European Task group on BAL (1, 2). Its place in therapy is not so clearly demonstrated, although BAL had been used for therapeutic purposes prior to its use as a diagnostic procedure. As early as 1963, RAMIREZ et al. [...

متن کاملDifferential cytology of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in normal children.
Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is increasingly used in the assessment of pulmonary diseases in children. However, reference values for cellular and non-cellular constituents of BAL fluid in children are lacking. We have studied the differential cytology of BAL fluid in 48 children aged 3-16 years (mean age +/- SD 7.9 +/- 3.5 yrs) undergoing elective surgery for nonpulmonary illnesses. A flexible ...
