BRONCHIAL LAVAGE ASP

BRONCHIAL LAVAGE ASP

Bronchial Lavage Aspiration is a laboratory examination of fluid collected from the airways during a procedure such as bronchoscopy. It may be recommended when doctors are evaluating persistent cough, breathing difficulty, or suspected respiratory infection. The sample can be tested for bacteria, fungi, tuberculosis, and abnormal cells. Results should be interpreted along with symptoms, imaging, and other clinical findings.
