Cellular composition was determined for brushings, and results from dogs with chronic cough were compared with those from healthy dogs.

Analysis of bronchial brushings provides information about airway inflammation that differs from that found by examination of BAL in some dogs with chronic cough and is a more sensitive indicator of airway inflammation than cytologic examination of BAL in these dogs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/ajvr.67.1.160","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,1,20]],"date-time":"2006-01-20T22:24:51Z","timestamp":1137795891000},"page":"160-167","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Cellular
