Apoptosis resistant bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid lymphocytes in sarcoidosis.
BACKGROUND Sarcoidosis is a chronic granulomatous lung disease of unknown origin. The accumulation of activated T cells at sites of inflammation represents an early stage in granuloma formation. Since mechanisms governing the normal resolution of inflammatory processes are poorly understood, this study aimed to investigate the apoptotic phenotype of peripheral blood and lung T lymphocytes from ...
متن کاملIdentification of bacterial antigens and super antigens in synovial fluid of patients with arthritis: a cross sectional study
Background : An accurate and prompt diagnosis of bacterial arthritis is essential for earlier treatment and a good outcome. Superantigens produced by Staph. Aureus are among the most lethal toxins. The paper objective was Identification of common bacterial antigens and S.aureus superantigens in synovial fluid (SF) of children with negative culture and direct smear for other bacteria except fo...
متن کاملBAL lymphocyte activation antigens and diffusing capacity are related in mild to moderate pulmonary sarcoidosis.
To investigate the relationship [corrected] between immunocytological features of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and clinical indices in sarcoidosis, we studied the lymphocyte subsets, as well as the expression of human leucocyte antigen-DR (HLA-DR) and interleukin 2 receptor (IL-2R) antigens in BAL lymphocytes. We studied 16 patients with untreated sarcoidosis and 12 control subjects. We found s...
متن کاملThe CD4/CD8 ratio in BAL fluid is highly variable in sarcoidosis.
Patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis frequently have increased numbers of lymphocytes and a high ratio of CD4+ to CD8+ T-lymphocytes (CD4/CD8 ratio) in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid. Some investigators have suggested that these parameters can be used to distinguish sarcoidosis from other types of interstitial lung disease with a high degree of reliability. However, we hypothesized that the ...
