title: [Method of bronchoalveolar lavage for performing cytochemical examination in chronic nonspecific pulmonary inflammation].
abstract: The method suggested includes the use of homogenizer terrilytin for removing excessive mucus from broncho-alveolar lavage (BAL). Cytochemical investigation of BAL neutrophils is reasonable to be performed if the viability of the cell suspension is not lower than 60%. Cytospectrophotometric examination is recommended for an unbiased evaluation of the neutrophil functional state.
