Abstract
Infectious pulmonary complications of immunosuppressive therapy include every type of microorganism. In transplant recipients, patients with vasculitis and collagen vascular diseases, hematological malignancies and cancer differential diagnosis of pulmonary infiltrates includes many noninfectious processes. The use of sputum examination is limited (colonisation, inability to produce sputum). Fiberoptic bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and brushing represents a major advance. To prevent contamination protected brushing (PSB) and protected BAL has been developed. The aim of the study is to asses the value of PSB and pBAL in comparison with BAL and less invasive methods of sampling of the distal airways secretions (sputum, transtracheal aspirate) in 40 to 60 patients.
