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.

Quantitative PCR (qPCR) Detection of Mucorales DNA in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid To Diagnose Pulmonary Mucormycosis

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2018
Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to improving the outcome of mucormycosis. The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the contribution of quantitative PCR detection of Mucorales DNA in bronchoalveolar lavage fluids for early diagnosis ...

Diagnostic value of microRNAs derived from exosomes in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of early‐stage lung adenocarcinoma: A pilot study

Thoracic Cancer, 2018
Low‐dose computed tomography can identify smaller nodules more often than chest radiography in lung screening. However, complications from invasive diagnostic procedures performed to detect nodules are common.

Two cases of primary human parechovirus pneumonia in adults

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2019
Human parechoviruses (HPeV) are mainly isolated from upper respiratory tract infection and gastroenteritis in children. HPeV has not been screened for in the past studies of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in adults, and its association with CAP is ...

Correlation of the lung microbiota with metabolic profiles in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in HIV infection

Microbiome, 2016
BackgroundWhile 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequencing has been used to characterize the lung’s bacterial microbiota in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals, taxonomic studies provide limited information on bacterial function and impact ...

β-thymosins and interstitial lung disease: study of a scleroderma cohort with a one-year follow-up

Respiratory Research, 2011
Background β-thymosins play roles in cytoskeleton rearrangement, angiogenesis, fibrosis and reparative process, thus suggesting a possible involvement in the pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis.

Electronic nose analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2010
Eur J Clin Invest 2010; 41 (1): 52–58AbstractBackground  Electronic nose (E‐nose) technology has been successfully used to diagnose a number of microbial infections. We have investigated the potential use of an E‐nose for the diagnosis of ventilator‐associated pneumonia (VAP) by detecting micro‐organisms in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid in a ...

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.
