Abstract
The very low incidence of bleeding complications from bronchoscopy with or without BAL even in patients with PLT counts of not more than 30 × 10(9) /L (no episodes of clinically significant bleeding in 35 patients) demonstrates that bronchoscopy can be done safely in patients with severe thrombocytopenia.
