Brochioalveolar fluid has emerged in laboratory medicine as a clinically
important source of significance with recent progress of skilled sampling
by brochoscopy and research work by histopathological, biochemical, immunological
and moreover genetic analyses.
The best opportunity was initially given in the annual meeting by inviting three specialists engaged in clinical practice and research work on surfactant and clara cell 10 kilodalton protein.
The present seminar is surely a harbinger of laboratory medicine to seek another promising aspects of clinical markers in the lung.
