[Pulmonary microlithiasis--difference between radiology results and pulmonary function tests].

The case od 22-years old woman with pulmonary microlithiasis is described. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological examination of lung tissue. In electron microscopy lung fibrosis was seen. High resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and pulmonary function tests (lung compliance, diffusion capacity, exercise test) were done. The role of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and lung scintigraphy with technetium in the diagnostic procedure of this disease is discussed.

[Lung lipoproteinosis--diagnostic problems].

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is a very rare disease, first described by Rosen in 1958. It is characterized by the accumulation of lipoproteins in the pulmonary alveoli. Clinical and radiologic presentations are typical for the interstitial lung disease. Only few cases of this disease have been described in the Polish literature. A patient with disseminated lesions to the lungs is presented. A diagnosis was possible after an analysis of BAL fluid and histological examination of the lung tissue collected by the transbronchial biopsy.

[Cellular bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) components and pulmonary function in chronic extrinsic allergic alveolitis].

Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and pulmonary function tests were carried out in 22 patients with chronic, extrinsic allergic alveolitis. In all a marked decrease of diffusion capacity was observed. The mean DLCO values was 34% predicted value. In 94% of the patients compliance was lowered. More pronounced abnormalities of pulmonary function (decrease of TLC and DLCO) were found with low BAL lymphocyte counts and increased macrophages count. The duration of the disease correlated with the absolute lymphocyte BAL count (r = -0.43). The BAL differential can be an additional measure of severity, duration of the disease process in chronic, extrinsic allergic alveolitis.
