RESUMO
A lavagem broncoalveolar é um método largamente utilizado no estudo da patologia pulmonar. Nas doenças intersticiais, a análise da lavagem broncoalveolar fornece, com frequência, informações relevantes para o diagnóstico, orientação terapêutica, prognóstico e interpretação etiopatogénica das mesmas. Os autores abordam a técnica e metodologia do processamento da lavagem broncoalveolar, as suas principais indicações clínicas e os achados mais característicos em diferentes patologias pulmonares.

SUMMARY
Bronchoalveolar lavage is a technic widely used in the study of pulmonary diseases. In interstitial lung diseases, its analysis reveals useful information for diagnosis, therapeutic orientation, prognosis and ethiopathogenic interpretation. The authors resume the technic and methodology of processing bronchoalveolar lavage, its indications, and the most characteristic findings in different pulmonary diseases.
