Abstract
We report the results of bronchoalveolar lavage in a patient with gold salt-induced interstitial pneumonitis. The presence of elevated numbers of lymphocytes in the lavage specimen supports a hypersensitivity-related pathogenesis of this disease. Such findings may help distinguish pulmonary complications of gold therapy from interstitial disease due to rheumatoid arthritis.Entities:
