title: [Thoracoscopy in the immunosuppressed patient].
abstract: The article reports on diagnostic thoracoscopy in 65 patients suffering from pulmonary complications in immunosuppression. The high sensitivity of 98% and the relatively low rate of complications assign to thoracoscopy a place between transbronchial peripheral and surgical open lung biopsy.
