OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to identify M1 and M2 macrophages in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid from patients with sarcoidosis and assess the effect of smoking on these cells.

largely due to an increase in the number of macrophages. BAL provides a relatively noninvasive means of assessing some occupational exposures, for example, asbestos bodies in the lavage fluid ...
