Galactomannan in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2008
Abstract Rationale Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is an important cause of mortality in patients with hematologic malignancies. However, IA appears to be gaining a foothold in the intensive care unit (ICU) in patients without classical risk factors.

Surfactant protein A in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.

The Journal of laboratory and clinical medicine, 1992
We measured surfactant protein A and phosphatidylcholine in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from healthy volunteers and several groups of patients with lung diseases to obtain information on surfactant in the lung. We developed three types of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays that used combinations of polyclonal antiserum and monoclonal antibodies ...

Microbiology of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in

2011
BACKGROUND: Precise etiologic diagnosis in pediatric community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) remains challenging. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study of CAP etiology in 2 groups of pediatric patients who underwent flexible bronchoscopy (FOB) with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL); children with acute nonresponsive CAP (NR-CAP; n = 127) or recurrent CAP ...

Neutrophilia in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid of Diffuse Panbronchiolitis

Chest, 1990
The clinical and pathologic features of diffuse panbronchiolitis (DPB) have been well reported to date, although its pathogenesis remains unknown. In the present study, we performed bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) on three patients with biopsy specimen-proven DPB and eight patients with highly probable DPB (six women and five men; one smoker and ten ...

Cytomegalovirus in the Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid of Patients with AIDS

Chest, 1990
This study investigated the significance of detecting cytomegalovirus in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection. Bronchoscopy with BAL was performed on all patients. Lavage was examined for CMV by cytology, culture, and immunofluorescence.

Mineralogical analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluids.

Zeitschrift fur Erkrankungen der Atmungsorgane, 1988
The analytical techniques routinely used for the mineralogical analysis of small particles, ranging from light microscopy (LM) to electron microscopy (EM) coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS), can be applied to evaluate the content of broncho-alveolar lavage (BAL) in various inorganic particles. The evaluation of the concentration of

ELISA of complement C3a in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid

Journal of Immunological Methods, 1992
Activated complement factors within the lung may induce several local biological effects. In order to investigate local complement activation we have developed non-competitive two-site ELISAs of C3a and total C3 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF).

Collagenase and Collagenase Inhibitors in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluids

Chest, 1991
Collagenase, collagenolytic activity and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases were evaluated in bronchoalveolar lavage from 25 patients with hypersensitivity pneumonitis and four control subjects. Patients were followed between two and three years, after which they were classified as "healed," "improved," or "worsened." In control samples ...
