    What is a Culture & Sensitivity - Broncho Alveolar Lavage (BAL) - (Auto) Test?

    The Culture & Sensitivity - Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL) - (Auto) test is a diagnostic procedure used to collect cells and other components from the bronchial and alveolar spaces of the lungs. BAL involves washing the lungs with saline to obtain material that can be tested for infections, malignancies, and other lung conditions. It is particularly useful for diagnosing bacterial pneumonia, tuberculosis, fungal infections, and neoplastic lesions (cancer). This procedure is also valuable for diagnosing conditions in immunosuppressed patients and detecting early-stage tuberculosis in sputum-negative cases. It offers a safer alternative to more invasive techniques like needle biopsies and thoracoscopy. Although it cannot diagnose interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) or predict therapeutic responses, its ability to provide crucial diagnostic information makes it an important tool in clinical practice. BAL also has therapeutic uses, such as removing mucus plugs in conditions like asthma or cystic fibrosis.
