Comparison of GeneXpert MTB/RIF Assay in Broncho Alveolar Lavage and Gastric Lavage Samples
Objective: To compare the yield from Gastric lavage (GL) and Broncho alveolar lavage (BAL) samples in adult patients suspected case of Tuberculosis but not producing sputum. Methodology: 80 adults with suspected case of tuberculosis but not producing sputum were recruited. 72 patients were then subjected to one gastric lavage followed by Broncho-alveolar lavage in the same morning.

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 کاملYellow 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 کاملFalse-positive galactomannan assay in broncho-alveolar lavage after enteral nutrition solution inhalation: a case report
Introduction. Diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis is challenging and the gold standard for definite diagnosis remains histopathological tissue examination. However, invasive procedures such as lung biopsy are often not feasible in critically ill patients. The detection of fungal cell wall components like Aspergillus galactomannan in broncho-alveolar lavage remains a key component of the diagnos...
متن کاملInvasive pulmonary aspergillosis diagnosed by broncho-alveolar lavage.
1 of 2 DESCRIPTION A 72-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital in August 2011 with a 5-day history of fever. She had been taking predonisolone at 10 mg/day for several years as treatment for autoimmune thrombocytopaenia. On admission, she was febrile with a body temperature of 38.5°C, and peripheral oxygen saturation was 88% in room air. Serum β-D-glucan and galactomannan (GM) testing yiel...
