Bronchoscopy Cases

A bronchoscopy is a test that allows a doctor to examine a patient’s airways. An instrument called a bronchoscope, which has a small camera and light fitted, is threaded through the nose or mouth and down the throat to reach the lungs. 



Presented as a series of case studies, this book is a practical guide to the diagnosis and management of respiratory disorders, with emphasis on diagnosis using a bronchoscope.



Divided into eight sections, each chapter covers a different pulmonary disorder including sarcoidosis, interstitial lung disease, pneumonitis, and malignancy.



Each case is presented in a step by step approach, beginning with an overview of the topic, patient history, and signs and symptoms, then microscopic analysis, diagnosis, and management.



The comprehensive text is further enhanced by more than 900 radiographic images and diagrams.
