Abstract:BackgroundCytology of airway samples is sensitive for diagnosis of exercise‐induced pulmonary haemorrhage (EIPH), but the association between tracheal wash (TW) and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) is unknown. The objective of this study was to determine whether diagnosis of EIPH, using haemosiderophages/macrophages (H/M) ratio, differs when based on TW or BALF.MethodsA prospective cross‐sectional study was conducted on 102 standardbred horses in training. TW and BALF were collected concomitantly from all h… Show more
