Overview

Other Diagnostic Studies

  • Bronchioalveolar lavage[1]
    • Bronchoalveolar lavage can be helpful in obtaining tissue fragments for cultures, for the assessment of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage and for the assessment of cellular differentials.
  • Surgical lung biopsy:[2]
    • The gold standard for diagnosis is surgical lung biopsy.
