Abstract:
20% lymphocytes)was documented in all patients who underwent bronchoalveolar lavage(BAL).In addition,inversion of the CD4/CD8 ratio(mean value:0.64?0.21)was observed in the patients.Non-specific IgM and IgG antibodies to antigens were documented in 13/14(92.9%)of BAL patients.Ten patients were cured by glucocorticoid,others by anti-infective therapy.We rechecked the HRCT which displayed the shade of lung in 12 patients(85.7%)vanishing completely,2 patients'(14.3%)partly.Conclusion There is no specificity in the clinical manifestations,change of mageology,pulmonary function and the immunologic test.However,compared with other methods,we find the test of BAL is more valuable to the diagnosis.It is critical to avoid the antigen,and we find the curative effect of the glucocorticoid is significant.
