Bronchoalveolar lavage in recurrent aspirin-induced adult respiratory distress syndrome

M Suarez and BP Krieger

Aspirin has been reported to induce the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in humans. The mechanism of injury appears to be similar to other forms of experimentally induced high-permeability edema in which leukocytes play an important role. In a patient who suffered two episodes of aspirin-related ARDS, bronchoalveolar lavage showed a significant influx of leukocytes. This represents the first reported bronchoalveolar lavage in aspirin-related ARDS, as well as the first documentation of the nonhydrostatic nature of the edema in a patient with recurrence of this entity.
