What is it about?
This study was designed to evaluate the role of bronchoscopy-related procedures such as bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), bronchial wash (BW), bronchial brush (B brush), transbronchial biopsy (TBB), and post-bronchoscopy sputum (PBS), alone or in combination, in the rapid diagnosis of negative sputum smear disseminated tuberculosis (TB).

Why is it important?
There are few reports of the role of fiberoptic bronchoscopy in the rapid diagnosis of smear-negative disseminated TB in patients with pulmonary miliary infiltrates
Perspectives
Bronchoscopy proved to be an effective method for the rapid diagnosis of disseminated TB in patients in whom sputum smear microscopy was negative.
