| Popis: | Background : Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is a method for collecting the cellular and fluid components of the airway surface in the lungs. The assessment of differential cell profiles is potentially valuable in the diagnosis of pulmonary diseases, but there is no information about the normal BAL profiles in the Gezel breed. Aim: This study aimed to characterize the normal cryptologic findings of BAL with Gezel sheep. Methods: Twenty healthy sheep (15 females: 5 males, bodyweight: 55 to 65 kg) were sedated with xylazine (0.02–0.04 mg/kg IV). Two methods; the transtracheal bronchoalveolar lavage (TBAL) technique and the bronchoscopic bronchoalveolar lavage (BBAL) using a scope were evaluated. Sampling was performed in the summer and winter seasons. Results: Normal value (Mean ± SEM) for total cell, macrophage, lymphocyte, neutrophil, epithelial and bronchial cells in BAL sampled in summer were (343.75± 30.23), ) 24.50± 2.62), (2.81± 0.51), (1.43± 0.88), (3.12 ± 0.32) respectively. The normal value for the total cell, macrophage, lymphocyte, neutrophil, epithelial and bronchial cells in BAL sampled in winter was (255.55± 37.67), (59.11± 4.30), (21.33± 3.10), (3.88 ±1.07), (8.88± 3.78), (6.33± 1.44) respectively. No significant change in the percentage of neutrophils was detected between seasons. Although the percentages of bronchial and epithelial cells in winter were significantly high (p [Open Vet J 2024; 14(3.000): 787-793] |
