Chest roentgenograms, pulmonary function tests (PFTs), tests for carbon monoxide diffusing capacity of the lung (DLCO), high-resolution CT scans of the chest, BAL via fiberoptic bronchoscopy, analyses of BAL fluids for cellular and protein constituents, and determinations of serum albumin and Ig levels were performed in all cases. A transbronchial lung biopsy was done in all patients following BAL. |
