Diagnostic value of Bronchoalveoalr Lavage in Fungal Infections

Abstract

Abstract: The incidence of pulmonary fungal infection increased recently.Fungal culture is gold-standard for diagnosis but restricted for time-comsuming.Bronchoscopic lavage is safe,rapid and minimally invasive to obtain bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF).Cytologic analysis,antigen detection and molecula technique to BALF becoming important for rapid diagnosis of fungal infections.

Key words: lavage, fungus, cytology, antigen detection, lung
