Blood and Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing in Pneumonia

The Canadian journal of infectious diseases & medical microbiology = Journal canadien des maladies infectieuses et de la microbiologie medicale, 2020
Background Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) has made a revolution in the mode of pathogen identification. We decided to explore the diagnostic value of blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) as mNGS samples in pneumonia.

Metagenomic next-generation sequencing for detecting lower respiratory tract infections in sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid samples from children

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
Lower respiratory tract infections are common in children. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid has long been established as the best biological sample for detecting respiratory tract infections; however, it is not easily collected in children.

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).
