    Author: Gudova SV, Malashenkov EA, Volkova RA.
    Journal: Probl Tuberk; 1999; (3):41-4. PubMed ID: 10420768.
    Abstract:
    The time course of cytological parameters of alveolar lavage fluid in restrictive lung disease of tuberculous or other genesis during tuberculin provocative test was studied. A focal response as higher levels of alveolar macrophages, plasma and epithelioid cells was noted in 62.5% of patients with tuberculosis. The method promotes greater diagnostic efficiency for pulmonary tuberculosis.
