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.

Case Report: Community-Acquired Legionella gormanii Pneumonia in an Immunocompetent Patient Detected by Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing

Frontiers in Medicine, 2022
BackgroundLegionella spp. has been well-recognized as an important cause of community-acquired pneumonia. Current community-acquired pneumonia guidelines recommended covering the treatment of Legionella because of the high mortality associated with ...

Doxycycline impairs neutrophil migration to the airspaces of the lung in mice exposed to intratracheal lipopolysaccharide

Journal of Inflammation, 2012
Background Tetracyclines are broad-spectrum antibiotics that are also used to induce gene expression using the reverse tetracycline transactivator / tetracycline operator system (rtTA/tetO system). The system assumes that tetracyclines have no effects on

Microparticle and anti-influenza activity in human respiratory secretion. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Respiratory secretions, such as saliva and bronchoalveolar fluid, contain anti-influenza activity. Multiple soluble factors have been described that exert anti-influenza activity and are believed to be responsible for the anti-influenza activity in ...

Bronchoabsorption; a novel bronchoscopic technique to improve biomarker sampling of the airway [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Current techniques used to obtain lung samples have significant limitations and do not provide reproducible biomarkers of inflammation. We have developed a novel technique that allows multiple sampling methods from the same area (or multiple ...

Measuring (1,3)-β-D-glucan in tracheal aspirate, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and serum for detection of suspected Candida pneumonia in immunocompromised and critically ill patients: a prospective observational study

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2017
Background While Candida pneumonia is life-threatening, biomarker measurements to early detect suspected Candida pneumonia are lacking. This study compared the diagnostic values of measuring levels of (1, 3)-β-D-glucan in endotracheal aspirate ...

Differential cytology of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid [PDF]

Archives of Disease in Childhood, 1997
Editor,—Ratjen et al suggest that differential cell counts in bronchoalveolar ravage (BAL) fluid can be of value in the differential diagnosis of pulmonary infiltrates in immuno-compromised children.1 Firstly I was confused by figure 1 whose legend states that the open bars represented children with bacterial or fungal infections.

Candidacidal factors in murine bronchoalveolar lavage fluid [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1987
Respiratory secretions provide an efficient method for protecting the large surface area of the lower respiratory tract. To determine whether lung secretions contribute to antifungal defenses, we tested bronchoalveolar lavage fluid for fungicidal activity.

The Quantitation of Squalene and Squalane in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid Using Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2022
Chemicals of unknown inhalational toxicity are present in electronic cigarette and vaping products. E-cigarettes typically contain nicotine and other relatively hydrophilic chemicals while vaping products typically contain cannabinoids and other ...
