Yellow Broncho-alveolar Lavage Fluid in Eosinophilic Pneumonia
A 34-year-old man with bronchial asthma was introduced to our clinic because his blood tests showed a white blood cell count of 25,200/μL with a differential of 70% eosinophils, and chest computed tomography revealed nonsegmental multi-lobar consolidation. Bronchoscopy was performed and yellow broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected (Picture 1). The supernatant of BALF was still yell...
متن کامل[Noninvasive mechanical ventilation in severe pneumonia due to H1N1 virus].
OBJECTIVE The use of noninvasive mechanical ventilation was evaluated in our series of patients admitted to our ICU with pneumonia due to influenza A virus H1N1, assessing the need for intubation, arterial blood gases and clinical improvement, the development of complications and ICU and hospital stay. DESIGN Retrospective and observational study. SETTING ICU of Castellón University General...
متن کاملBronchoalveolar lavage cytological alveolar damage in patients with severe pneumonia
INTRODUCTION Histological examination of lung specimens from patients with pneumonia shows the presence of desquamated pneumocytes and erythrophages. We hypothesized that these modifications should also be present in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAL) from patients with hospital-acquired pneumonia. METHODS We conducted a prospective study in mechanically ventilated patients with clinical susp...
متن کاملAutomatic Segmentation and Classification of Cells from Broncho Alveolar Lavage
Broncho alveolar lavage is the most commonly used diagnostic tool for confirming alveolar hemorrhage. Golde has introduced a ranking score, based on the hemosiderin content of macrophages which enables ranking cells from 0 to 4 based on the degree of Prussian blue stain. We propose a complete image analysis scheme to automatically perform both the extraction of the cellular objects and the rank...
متن کاملEffect of lung-protective ventilation on severe Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia and sepsis in rats.
Pneumonia caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa carries a high rate of morbidity and mortality. A lung-protective strategy using low tidal volume (V(T)) ventilation for acute lung injury improves patient outcomes. The goal of this study was to determine whether low V(T) ventilation has similar utility in severe P. aeruginosa infection. A cytotoxic P. aeruginosa strain, PA103, was instilled into the ...
