Abstract
Bronchoalveolar lavage is widely used in the management of patients with interstitial lung diseases and is considered a safe procedure. We describe a patient who died with a picture consistent with acute pulmonary edema and septic shock following bronchoalveolar lavage. This potential complication has not been previously reported.Entities:
