In 18 renal transplant patients with pneumonia under ciclosporin therapy the diagnostic value of BAL and of covered micro brush smears were compared. In 10 out of 18 cases partly atypical bacterial pathogens were cultivated and cytomegaly was diagnosed 4 times, mycosis twice, whereas 2 cases could not be clarified. A granulocytosis in the differential cell pattern correlated with a bacterial infection.
