In 158 patients with histologically confirmed intrathoracic sarcoidosis the T4/T8 quotient was checked in broncho-alveolar lavage (BAL) for its informative value with regard to activity and prognosis of the disease. In asymptomatic patients with x-ray type I and normal lung function, in radiological remissions of x-ray types I and improvement in the course of disease in patients whose disease had initially been classified acute, we found statistically significantly higher T4/T8 quotients than in the other patient groups; we did not observe any deterioration in the course of the disease. High T4/T8 quotients will thus not generally point to an active or progressing disease; the information conveyed by these data is of limited clinical usefulness in individual cases only.
在158例经组织学确诊的胸内结节病患者中，检测其支气管肺泡灌洗（BAL）中的T4/T8比值，以评估其对疾病活动度和预后的参考价值。在无症状的I型X线表现且肺功能正常的患者中，以及在I型X线表现的放射学缓解期患者和最初被分类为急性疾病但病情在病程中有所改善的患者中，我们发现其T4/T8比值在统计学上显著高于其他患者组；且未观察到疾病进展。因此，高T4/T8比值通常并不表明疾病处于活动期或进展期；这些数据所传达的信息仅在个别病例中具有有限的临床实用性。
