Bronchoalveolar lavages in two patients with miliary tuberculosis have shown lymphocytic alveolitis. A 6-month regimen with an initial intensive 2-month phase resulted in remarkable clinical and radiographic improvement in both. However, bronchoalveolar lavage following treatment has shown that there was a persistence of lymphocytic alveolitis, though with reduced intensity. The significance of the persisting alveolitis, despite treatment, is not known at present. There is also a suggestion that compartment-alisation of lymphocytes may occur in miliary tuberculosis of the lung.
两名粟粒性肺结核患者的支气管肺泡灌洗显示为淋巴细胞性肺泡炎。一个为期6个月的方案，初始强化阶段为2个月，结果两名患者均在临床和影像学上有显著改善。然而，治疗后的支气管肺泡灌洗显示淋巴细胞性肺泡炎持续存在，尽管强度有所降低。目前尚不清楚尽管经过治疗，持续性肺泡炎的意义何在。也有迹象表明，在粟粒性肺结核中可能会出现淋巴细胞的分隔现象。
