[Morphologic studies in fibrosing alveolitis. I. Content of alveolar macrophages and lymphocytes in lung parenchyma in correlation with the duration of the disease].
In 50 patients with fibrosing alveolitis the content of lymphocytes and alveolar macrophages was semiquantitatively estimated and correlated to the duration of the disease. Increasing duration of the disease was correlated with a decrease of the content of lymphocytes and macrophages. The findings demonstrate close correlations between the duration of the disease and the infiltration of lung tissue with macrophages and lymphocytes.
