Bronchial Lavage Differential

[Krissy8733 1]

I am looking for information on a procedure for performing bronchial lavage differentials.

We used to get them from time to time.  We just use a generic body fluid cell count and diff order.

We used to preform these but we now we get to send them out as part of a panel.  We had a separate order so that when we did the differential we could count the bronchial epithelial cells with the WBCs.  We did a 100 cell differential on a cytocentrifuged slide.
