title: [Cell distribution and macrophage function in bronchoalveolar lavage of patients with sarcoidosis and lung tumors].
abstract: BAL was performed to differentiate cases of sarcoidosis and bronchial carcinoma. Significant differences in the cell differentiation are stated. An increase of spontaneous interleukin production seems to be another sign of activity of sarcoidosis.
