Abstract
Bronchoalveolar lavages in two patients with miliary tuberculosis have shown lymphocytic alveolitis. A 6-month regimen with an initial intensive 2- month phase resulted in remarkable clinical and radiographic improvement in both. However, bronchoalveolar lavage following treatment has shown that there was a persistence of lymphocytic alveolitis, though with reduced intensity. The significance of the persisting alveolitis, despite treatment, is not known at present. There is also a suggestion that compartment-alisation of lymphocytes may occur in miliary tuberculosis of the lung.
