The results of cultures from bronchial lavage (BL) were compared with those obtained with a telescoping protected brush catheter (PBC) in 56 nonselected patients presenting with a pulmonary infiltrate of unknown etiology. At the time of bronchoscopy, 34 patients were under antibiotics. In 20 cases, the cultures from PBC and/or BL were positive. On the basis of quantitative bacteriological analysis and medical chart review, we conclude that PBC is more sensitive and more specific than BL for the diagnosis of clinically significant infections of the lower respiratory tract.
对56例病因不明的肺部浸润患者，将支气管灌洗（BL）培养结果与采用可伸缩式防污染毛刷导管（PBC）获得的结果进行了比较。在支气管镜检查时，34例患者正在使用抗生素。20例患者的PBC和/或BL培养结果呈阳性。基于定量细菌学分析和病历回顾，我们得出结论，对于诊断下呼吸道具有临床意义的感染，PBC比BL更敏感、更具特异性。
