Results of cytological analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid were compared with clinical diagnoses in dogs that presented with signs of respiratory disease to referral hospitals. Of 68 dogs in which a clinical diagnosis was possible, BAL cytological findings were considered definitive for the diagnosis in 17 cases (25%), supportive of the diagnosis in 34 cases (50%), and not helpful in 17 cases (25%). Findings were most often considered supportive of or definitive for the clinical diagnosis in dogs with alveolar or bronchial radiographic patterns, or the presence of pulmonary masses. BAL results among lung lobes differed in 23 of 63 dogs (37%) with diffuse radiographic patterns. Tracheal wash cytology differed from BAL fluid cytology in 45 of 66 dogs (68%). Bronchoalveolar lavage was a clinically useful procedure for the diagnostic evaluation of dogs with signs of respiratory disease.
对转诊至专科医院、有呼吸道疾病症状的犬只，将支气管肺泡灌洗（BAL）液的细胞学分析结果与临床诊断结果进行了比较。在68只能够做出临床诊断的犬只中，BAL细胞学检查结果在17例（25%）中被认为可确诊，在34例（50%）中支持诊断，在17例（25%）中对诊断无帮助。在有肺泡或支气管影像学表现或存在肺部肿块的犬只中，检查结果最常被认为支持或可确诊临床诊断。在63只具有弥漫性影像学表现的犬只中，23只（37%）各肺叶的BAL结果不同。在66只犬只中，45只（68%）气管冲洗细胞学检查结果与BAL液细胞学检查结果不同。支气管肺泡灌洗对于有呼吸道疾病症状犬只的诊断评估是一项临床有用的检查方法。
