Table 3. Cytologic differentiation of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from cats with FLAD.
Eosinophilic inflammation (EI) (n = 6) | Neutrophilic inflammation (NI) (n = 2) | Mixed inflammation (MI) (n = 17) | |
---|---|---|---|
BALF total cell count (cells/μl) | 2585 (1235–5248) | 1205 (1198–1213) | 2810 (2470–3180) |
BALF eosinophils (%) | 60 (29–63) | 10 (8–11) | 48 (22–55) |
BALF neutrophils (%) | 3 (1.5–3) | 47 (33–60) | 12 (5–25) |
BALF macrophages (%) | 52 (37–74) | 44 (32–55) | 24 (12–38) |
BALF lymphocytes (%) | 0 (0–0) | 0 (0–0) | 0 (0–0) |
