  • Title: Heterogeneity of bronchoalveolar lavage cellularity in stage III pulmonary sarcoidosis.
    Author: Cantin A, Bégin R, Rola-Pleszczynski M, Boileau R.
    Journal: Chest; 1983 Mar; 83(3):485-6. PubMed ID: 6825482.
    Abstract:
    Three cases of stage III pulmonary sarcoidosis are presented. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) revealed normal cell differential counts in the right middle lobe of each patient, but high-intensity lymphocytic alveolitis in the right upper lobe. These findings suggest that BAL should be done in multiple segments of the lung to obtain a truly representative picture of the intensity of the alveolitis in stage III pulmonary sarcoidosis.
