Pilot study of inflammatory biomarkers in matched induced sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage from 2-year-olds with cystic fibrosis
2022-02-02
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> In this pilot study, we investigated whether induced sputum (IS) could serve as a viable alternative to bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and yield robust inflammatory biomarkers in toddlers with cystic fibrosis (CF) featuring minimal structural lung disease. <h4>Methods:</h4> We collected IS, BAL (right middle lobe and lingula) and blood, and performed chest computed tomography (CT) scans from 2-...
