Microplastics in Human Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid. [PDF]

Respirology
ABSTRACTBackground and ObjectiveHealth impacts of inhaling airborne microplastics have been actively investigated. Although microplastics have been detected in lung tissues and bronchoalveolar lavage fluids, their detection requires substantial effort and is technically challenging, with existing studies demonstrating various limitations ...

Use of nested PCR for the detection of trichomonads in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2019
Background The methods routinely used to detect trichomonads in the lungs are not sensitive enough, and an effective method is urgently needed. Method Primers were first designed to match the conserved area of the 18S rRNA gene of trichomonads.

Microbiota analysis optimization for human bronchoalveolar lavage fluid

Microbiome, 2019
Background It is now possible to comprehensively characterize the microbiota of the lungs using culture-independent, sequencing-based assays. Several sample types have been used to investigate the lung microbiota, each presenting specific challenges for ...

Evaluation of PCR in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid for Diagnosis of Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia: A Bivariate Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review

PLoS ONE, 2013
Background As a promising tool, PCR in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) has not been accepted as a diagnostic criterion for PJP. Objective We undertook a systematic review of published studies to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of PCR assays in BALF ...

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.

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.
