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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

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

open access: yesDiagnostics, 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 fluid cytological findings in healthy Amiata donkeys [PDF]

open access: yesOpen Veterinary Journal, 2021
Background: The approach to respiratory diseases in donkeys is similar to that for horses, nevertheless bronchoalveolar fluid (BALF) and tracheal wash (TW) cytology in this species have been described only a few times in the literature.

Proteomics of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid

open access: yesJournal of Chromatography B, 2005
Lung diseases are essentially multi-factorial diseases that require a global analysis, and thus, cannot be understood through the sole analysis of individual or small numbers of genes. Proteome analysis has rapidly developed in the post-genome era and is now widely accepted as the obligated complementary technology for genetic profiling.
