Correlation between sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid cultures.
A correlation study of the cultured bacteria from paired sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid samples was performed. The rates of concordant culture-positive paired specimens that were isolated within 1 or 7 days were 93.7% and 96.5%, respectively, suggesting that the culture of readily collectable sputum specimens may result in useful microbiologic diagnosis.

متن کاملbronchoalveolar lavage fluid from rats
Significant differences inseveralcomponents of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAL fluid) have previously been reported in aluminium potroom workers compared with controls. The present paper describes the long term effects in rats of one time exposure to potroom aluminium oxide without fluorides (primary alumina (PA)) or with adsorbed fluorides (secondary alumina (SA) ) on components of BAL fluid...
متن کاملCorrelation between Eicosanoids in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid and in Exhaled Breath Condensate
Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) has been increasingly used as a new and non-invasive method to study airway inflammation. In this study we have compared the concentrations of lipid mediators in EBC with concentrations in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). We included 37 patients undergoing bronchoscopy (12 sarcoidosis, 12 COPD, 6 lung cancer, 5 chronic cough, 1 Wegener's granulomatosis, 1 scl...
متن کاملLeukocyte counts and macrophage phenotypes in induced sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from normal subjects.
It is unclear whether leukocytes in induced sputum (IS) and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) represent the same cell populations. To compare leukocyte counts and macrophage phenotypes and investigate any measurable dithiothreitol (DTT)-mediated effect on macrophage immunocytochemical staining results, IS and BAL samples from nine healthy smokers and seven nonsmokers were examined. BAL and IS sample...
