Neutrophil percentages in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid: Implications for diagnosing bacterial pneumonia in patients with immunocompromise and neutropenia

2024-05-07

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Rationale</h4> Pneumonia is the most common infection in ICU patients and a leading cause for death. Assessment of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) cellularity can aid in pneumonia diagnosis. Low percentages (<50%) of BALF neutrophils have a high negative predictive value for bacterial pneumonia in a general medical ICU population. The operating characteristics in patients with immunocompromise and neutrope...
