CYTOLOGY OF BRONCHOALVEOLAR LAVAGE FLUID IN THE INTERSTITIAL LUNG DISEASES
Background. By the bronchoscopic lavaging we obtain cytological specimen of the peripheral airways and lung parenchyma. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) examination gives us information about inflammation in the interstitial lung diseases.
