  • Title: Bronchoalveolar lavage in gold lung.
    Author: Ettensohn DB, Roberts NJ, Condemi JJ.
    Journal: Chest; 1984 Apr; 85(4):569-70. PubMed ID: 6423349.
    Abstract:
    We report the results of bronchoalveolar lavage in a patient with gold salt-induced interstitial pneumonitis. The presence of elevated numbers of lymphocytes in the lavage specimen supports a hypersensitivity-related pathogenesis of this disease. Such findings may help distinguish pulmonary complications of gold therapy from interstitial disease due to rheumatoid arthritis.
