Role of bronchoalveolar lavage in the diagnosis of fat embolism syndrome.
Fat embolism syndrome (FES) is a serious clinical disorder occurring in trauma patients. The diagnosis of fat embolism syndrome may be difficult to establish clinically. We therefore wanted to investigate the usefulness of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in the diagnostic evaluation of fat embolism syndrome. We analysed the presence of fat droplets in BAL cells in 32 trauma patients (7 with full d...
متن کاملThe Value of Bronchoalveolar Lavage in the Diagnosis of Sputum Smear-NegativePulmonary Tuberculosis
Background and Objectives: Sputum smear staining for acid-fast bacilli is initial approach to the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) but more than 50% of cases are sputum smear-negative. This study was aimed to investigate the diagnostic value of fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) guided bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in patients suspected to have tuberculosis.

متن کاملComparison of Bronchoalveolar Lavage and Mini-Bronchoalveolar Lavage in the Diagnosis of Pneumonia in Immunocompromised Patients
Background: Pneumonia is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is commonly used to help diagnose and characterize pneumonia in these patients. Mini-BAL is a lessinvasive, less-costly and less-cumbersome diagnostic tool than BAL. Objectives: In this study, we compared the diagnostic value of BAL and mini-BAL in the evaluation of pneu...
