[Bacteremia after fibrobronchoscopy. Prospective study].
We prospectively evaluated in 88 inpatients the incidence of fever and bacteremia after fiberoptic bronchoscopy and its predisposing variables. Fever was present in 27% of cases and no bacteremia could be demonstrated neither associated nor intercurrent . Chronic Hepatic Disease, endobronchial pathology and bronchial biopsy practice were predisposing factors for fever development in the univariant analysis.
