Abstract

Background Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) has a stable place in the diagnostics of various forms of the diffuse parenchymal lung disease. The analysis of cellular components of the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) informs us about inflammatory and immune processes in the alveolar space. This can be very helpful in the diagnostics of many interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), but also in the diagnostics of pulmonary haemorrhage and bronchoalveolar carcinoma or lymphomas. The aim of study is to present our experience in cellular analysis of BALF.
