[1] wherein the authors describe the impact of collection protocols and bronchoscope lumen size on bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) cellular analysis. Their findings highlight the importance of standardising BALF collection protocols in order to meaningfully interpret and compare BALF analysis results, for both clinical and research purposes. As a complement to their study, we would like to emphasise the importance of laboratory methods used to process the collected sample. We present our experience with highly discordant BALF cell counts and differentials, using two processing protocols in our local laboratory.BALF cellular analysis results are greatly impacted by processing technique #AdvancesinILD @ERSTalk http://ow.ly/u9js30i1dUP ER -
