Bronchoalveolar lavage in acute drug-hypersensitivity pneumonitis probably caused by phenytoin.

Abstract
We have reported a case of acute hypersensitivity pneumonitis, probably caused by phenytoin, in which the results of bronchoalveolar lavage suggested a predominantly lymphocytic type of alveolitis, comparable to the alveolitis of sarcoidosis or chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
