Abstract
- Drug-induced pneumonitis is a disease encountered by pulmonologists in the clinical setting. The diagnosis generally considers the patient's clinical course and the results of peripheral blood tests, radiological examinations, and often bronchoscopic examinations. However, few studies have reported the association between radiological patterns such as ground-glass opacity (GGO) or consolidation, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) cell fractions. This study aimed to clarify this association.
