[The role of bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage in diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis in AIDS].
Bronchoscopy was carried out in 32 HIV seropositive patients, most with AIDS during the period between January 1992 and August 1993. In 14 patients tuberculosis was diagnosed, in 13 it was bacteriologically confirmed. The mean age of the examined patients was 35.5 years (range 22-49 years). In 50% of the BAL samples bacterioscopy was positive. Bacteriological examination of the sputum and BAL fluid (bacterioscopy and culture) produced a confirmation of tuberculosis in 99.9% of the cases.
