[Morphology of the lungs and cellular composition of bronchoalveolar lavage in tuberculomas].
Morphology of the lungs and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) were studied in 27 patients with tuberculomas. The investigators also determined lymphocytic, macrophagal or neutrophil BAL composition regarding lymphocyte, macrophage or neutrophil dominating infiltration of pulmonary tissue outside the sites of specific inflammation. As a result, the activity of the process was assessed by subpopulation composition of lymphocytes in BAL, by morphology of alveolar macrophages in pulmonary tissue; the pattern of inflammatory reaction in the lesion focus was specified.
