title: [Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis. I. Correlations between cellular morphology of BAL with radiologic and respiratory function tests].
abstract: BAL, spirometric evaluation and compliance values were analysed in 51 patients (21 females, 30 males; age range 19-51 years). Basing on BAL criteria, 19 had active sarcoidosis, 32 non-active sarcoidosis. Radiological stages (I, II, III) were found in similar percentages in both forms of the disease. Mean respiratory function parameters were similar in the active and non-active stage of the disease. The most common abnormality found in 33% of the patients was decreased DLCO.
