Table 2. BAL cell counts and leukocyte differentials.

Total cell numbers and leukocyte differentials were determined in BAL by manual counting. Results are expressed as means ± SD (range).

Healthy
(n = 21)		 NSA
(n = 24)		 SA
(n = 29)
Total cell count, millions 5.2 ± 3.1 (0.3–11.3) 4.2 ± 2.9 (0–12.3) 6.3 ± 6.2 (1.3–35)
Macrophages (%) 91.1 ± 6.7 (73.0–98.6) 91.9 ± 5.6 (78.8–99.1) 86.5 ± 10.7 (53–98.2)*
Lymphocytes (%) 6.7 ± 5.0 (0.8–19.3) 5.8 ± 5.2 (0–5.8) 7.5 ± 5.3 (0.3–18.7)
Neutrophils (%) 1.9 ± 2.3 (0–9.6) 1.2 ± 1.2 (0–4.0) 3.8 ± 6.4 (0–23.6)*
Eosinophils (%) 0.3 ± 0.5 (0–2.3) 1.2 ± 2.4 (0–8.6) 2.1 ± 4.2 (0–17.3)
