  • Title: Bronchoalveolar lavage in a patient with recurrence of sarcoidosis after lung transplantation.
    Author: Slebos DJ, Verschuuren EA, Koëter GH, van der Bij W, Kauffman HF, Postma DS, Timens W.
    Journal: J Heart Lung Transplant; 2004 Aug; 23(8):1010-3. PubMed ID: 15312833.
    Abstract:
    End-stage pulmonary disease due to sarcoidosis rarely leads to lung transplantation. Once a patient has undergone lung transplantation, sarcoidosis often recurs in the lung allograft. In this case report we show, for the first time, the utility of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in diagnosing the recurrence of sarcoidosis in the transplanted allograft.
