BAL examination is performed on patients with severe lung dysfunction. They may contain airborne organisms because they are taken from the interior of the lung; they often contain bacteria and/or yeast when cytocentrifuge slides are examined. Aerosol production is a real risk; thus it is critical to wear a mask when working with these specimens.
