[The role of bronchoalveolar lavage in the diagnosis and therapy of recurrent respiratory tract diseases in children].
In 32 patients with relapsing bronchopneumonia, bronchiectasis, relapsing obstructive bronchitis and asthma bronchiale during aimed bronchoscopy bronchoalveolar lavage was made (BAL).
