title: [Levels of procollagen III in bronchial alveolar lavage fluid in patients with sarcoidosis].
abstract: In 24 patients with sarcoidosis without pulmonary function disturbances significantly higher concentrations of procollagen III (PIIIP) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were observed in comparison with control group. Patients in II radiological stage shower higher PIIIP concentrations in BALF than patients in I stage of sarcoidosis.
