Investigations of Black Bronchoalveolar Human Lavage Fluid

Chest, 1977
The removal by bronchoalveolar lavage (two occasions) of 10(11) black macrophages containing crystals of aluminum silicate, large amounts of amorphous carbon, and oxidized lipids was followed by considerable improvement in gas exchange in a patient. Sixty-eight percent of these pulmonary macrophages were viable and normal, as judged by chemotatctic and

Cloning of T Lymphocytes from Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid

American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology, 1992
We have prepared T-cell clones from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from four healthy, nonsmoking persons and from four patients with allergic asthma. T cells were cloned by direct limiting dilution and with the use of a fluorescent activated cell sorter with an automated cell deposition unit. T-cell clones from the blood (PB) were prepared as well.

Bronchoalveolar lavage: role in the evaluation of pulmonary interstitial disease

Expert Review of Respiratory Medicine, 2020
Introduction Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), a noninvasive, well-tolerated procedure is an important diagnostic tool that can facilitate the diagnosis of various lung diseases.

Galactomannan detection in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid

Current Fungal Infection Reports, 2008
Prompt diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) remains a challenge. Galactomannan (GM) assay in serum has been incorporated into diagnostic criteria for IPA, but its performance varies depending on the population in which the test is used. GM assay on bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid aims to improve upon the test by applying it directly ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

[Phospholipids in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid].

Annales de biologie clinique, 1982
Progress in recent years in knowledge of respiratory diseases has lead the clinician and laboratory worker to assess at an early stage the disturbances in metabolism of the pulmonary or alveolar tissue. The technique of bronchoalveolar washings (BAW) provides a sample of the alveolar film and opens up the possibility of its biochemical study.

[Proteins in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid].

Annales de biologie clinique, 1982
Bronchoalveolar washings contain proteins, the majority of which come from the serum by transduation. They may thus be quantified using classical immunological techniques involving commercial immune sera. The method of expression of the results varies from one author to another.
