경기관지법에 의한 폐질환의 진단

Abstract

The diagnostic accuracy of transbronchial lung biopsy, brushing and aspiration through the flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope was evaluated in 69 patients with radiologically peripheral lung lesion and diffuse infiltrative lung lesion which couldn't show remarkable endobronchial lesion. The specific diagnosis was obtained in 33 out of 54(63.4%) cases with peripheral lung lesion and in 12 out of 15(80.0%) cases with diffuse infiltrative lung lesion, giving a positive yield in 65.2% of all cases.
