This study was conducted on 96 horses with RAO, 139 horses with IAD and 10 control horses. In all the horses, both clinical and endoscopic examinations were performed. During endoscopy, a score of mucus accumulation was estimated in 3\/4 lower of the trachea and in the tracheal bifurcation. In addition, thickening of the tracheal septum was also assessed; tracheal aspirates and broncho-alveolar lavage were performed. An estimate of cell percentage was done in TA and BALF samples. In horses suffering from RAO and IAD, there was a positive correlation between the percentage of neutrophils and the accumulation of discharge, and in the IAD group, there was a negative correlation between the percentage of eosinophils and the accumulation of discharge. There was no correlation between tracheal septum thickening and the percentage of neutrophils and\/or eosinophils.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/pjvs-2015-0076","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,30]],"date-time":"2015-11-30T17:01:41Z","timestamp":1448902901000},"page":"587-597","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Cytological evaluation of tracheal aspirate and broncho-alveolar lavage fluid in comparison to endoscopic assessment of lower airways in horses with recurrent airways obstruction or inflammatory airway disease"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"B.","family":"Wysocka","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"W.","family":"Kluci\u0144ski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"374","reference":[{"key":"ref21","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"157","DOI":"10.1177\/030098587501200301","article-title":"Cytology of tracheobronchial aspirates in horses","volume":"12","author":"Beech","year":"1975","journal-title":"Vet Pathol"},{"key":"ref201","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"356","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1939-1676.2007.tb02975.x","article-title":"Inflammatory airway disease of horses","volume":"21","author":"Coultil","year":"2007","journal-title":"J Vet Intern Med"},{"key":"ref111","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"276","DOI":"10.1111\/evj.12204","article-title":"Recurrent airway obstruction a rewiev","author":"Pirie","year":"2014","journal-title":"Equine Vet J"},{"key":"ref81","first-page":"567","article-title":"Geringer de Invasions of nematodes in horses from different studs Lubuskie region and Lower UP Hod","author":"Kami\u0144ska","year":"2008"},{"key":"ref41","first-page":"21","article-title":"Comparison of transtracheal aspirate and bronchoalveolar lavage cytology in horses with chronic lung disease","author":"Derksen","year":"1989","journal-title":"Equine Vet J"},{"key":"ref191","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"157","DOI":"10.1177\/030098587501200301","article-title":"Cytology of tracheobronchial aspirates in horses","volume":"12","author":"Beech","year":"1975","journal-title":"Vet Pathol"},{"key":"ref271","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"40","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1439-0442.2007.00870.x","article-title":"der -
