Galactomannan-Antigen Testing from Non-Directed Bronchial Lavage for Rapid Detection of Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis in Critically Ill Patients: A Proof-of-Concept Study

Diagnostics, 2023
Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is associated with high mortality. For diagnosis, galactomannan-antigen in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid is recommended, with higher sensitivity in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.

Bronchoalveolar lavage [PDF]

Clinical Reviews in Allergy, 1990
The technique of BAL performed through the fiberoptic bronchoscope has, in two decades, provided clinicians and researchers with the ability to safely sample the inflammatory-immune cell milieu of the human lung. Standardized BAL and processing of the lavage constituents provides assistance in determining the optimal care of patients with a variety of ...

Bronchoalveolar Lavage Gram Stains for Early Bacterial Identification in Pneumonia: Should They Stay or Should They Go?

Critical Care Explorations, 2021
OBJECTIVES:. The primary endpoint was to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the bronchoalveolar lavage Gram stain in predicting culture results. Secondary endpoints included determining the proportion of Gram stains from bronchoalveolar lavages

Histopathology and bronchoalveolar lavage [PDF]

Rheumatology, 2008
Although neither lung biopsy nor bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is recommended for routine clinical use in patients with SSc, studies employing lung biopsy material and BAL fluid (BALF) have provided insight into the pathogenesis of scleroderma-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD).
