Bronchoalveolar lavage • A predominance of lymphocytes suggests certain diagnoses such as sarcoidosis, hypersensitivity pneumonitis or beryllium disease (but is not by itself diagnostic). • <strong>The</strong> diagnosis of beryllium disease can be established with the finding of a positive lymphocyte transformation in the BAL cells of exposed patients. • Characteristic multinucleated giant cells may be seen in the BAL fluid of patients with hard-metal lung disease.
