Original Research
From January 1982 to April 1987 , 1500 cases of fiberoptic bronchoscopy
(FOB) were performed. Among these cases, 37 were suspected of having
pulmonary tuberculosis but their sputum examination was either negative or
they were not able to expectorate. In all these cases pulmonary TB was
confirmed either by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid examination or by
biopsy. We conclude that FOB is a valuable means for detection of c1inically
suspected but sputum negative pulmonary TB.
