We report the results of bronchoalveolar lavage in a patient with gold salt-induced interstitial pneumonitis. The presence of elevated numbers of lymphocytes in the lavage specimen supports a hypersensitivity-related pathogenesis of this disease. Such findings may help distinguish pulmonary complications of gold therapy from interstitial disease due to rheumatoid arthritis.
我们报告了一例金盐诱导的间质性肺炎患者的支气管肺泡灌洗结果。灌洗标本中淋巴细胞数量升高支持了该疾病与超敏反应相关的发病机制。这些发现可能有助于区分金治疗的肺部并发症与类风湿关节炎所致的间质性疾病。
