Tissue sample taken by transbronchial biopsy in the diagnosis of tuberculosis; benefits-risks
Using various modalities such as BAL and TBLB together for diagnosing pulmonary TB can be advantageous when appropriate, particularly given the absence of significant complications during the procedure. Our findings indicate that incorporating TBLB alongside BAL impacted the diagnosis of pulmonary TB.
