Effect of exogenous surfactant on Paediatric Bronchoalveolar lavage derived macrophages’ cytokine secretion

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2019
Background Bronchoalveolar lavage is a useful bronchoscopy technique. However, studies in “normal” children populations are few. Furthermore, the anti-inflammatory effects of exogenous pulmonary surfactants on the bronchoalveolar cellular components are ...

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 ...

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

Utility of Serum and Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid Galactomannan in Diagnosis of Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2019
The value of serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid galactomannan (BALF-GM) in diagnosing chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) remains unclear. Here, we study the diagnostic efficacy of GM in the diagnosis of CPA.

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.
