摘要：

The need for rapid laboratory results has marked the application of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid cytology as a valuable fool in the assessment of infectious lung conditions. The techniques of BAL fluid processing presented here can be performed in a microbiological laboratory. The diagnostic value of BAL fluid cytology for the prediction of ventilator-associated pneumonia is discussed.
