Bronchoalveolar Lavage in Asbestosis
Archives of Internal Medicine, 1983The interstitial lung disease associated with asbestosis is unique in that the etiological agent and its effects on the pulmonary parenchyma can be studied on a serial basis using bronchoalveolar lavage. In this way both disease activity and structural derangements can be assessed and used in the treatment of the affected individual.
