cord-353256-7nfklun9	Eroglu‐Ertugrul, Nesibe Gevher	The value of flexible bronchoscopy in pulmonary infections of immunosuppressed children	2019-11-22		.txt	text/plain	3097	178	39	OBJECTIVES: To demonstrate the value of flexible bronchoscopy (FB) and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) when determining causes of lung infection in immunocompromised children; to investigate differences in causes and radiological features of lung infections following bone marrow transplantation (BMT) compared to other immunosuppressive conditions; to evaluate the reliability of radiological findings when predicting the pathogen. The purpose of the study was to demonstrate the value of FB and BAL in determining the cause of lung infections that develop in immunocompromised children, to investigate differences between the causes and radiological features of lung infections following BMT in comparison to other immunosuppressive conditions and to evaluate the reliability of radiological findings for predicting the causative pathogen. When all of the patients were considered together, a significant association was determined between the presence of viral pathogens (including CMV) and the radiological findings of interstitial infiltration and/or a ground-glass appearance (P = .003).	./cache/cord-353256-7nfklun9.txt	./txt/cord-353256-7nfklun9.txt
