*Erythrocytes and hemosiderin-laden macrophages may be seen in sputum testing with hematoxylin-eosin and Prussian blue stains, indicating intra-alveolar bleeding. Stains and cultures for mycobacteria, bacteria, and fungus are done to rule out the infective cause.
*Alveolar macrophages filled with hemosiderin and intact erythrocytes and occasionally neutrophils in Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) has a higher diagnostic yield than sputum testing.
*Pulmonary function testing generally shows a restrictive pattern of varying severity. The carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (DLCO) can be elevated during the acute phase.

Other diagnostic studies

  • Erythrocytes and hemosiderin-laden macrophages may be seen in sputum testing with hematoxylin-eosin and Prussian blue stains, indicating intra-alveolar bleeding. Stains and cultures for mycobacteria, bacteria, and fungus are done to rule out the infective cause.
  • Alveolar macrophages filled with hemosiderin and intact erythrocytes and occasionally neutrophils in Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) has a higher diagnostic yield than sputum testing.
  • Pulmonary function testing generally shows a restrictive pattern of varying severity. The carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (DLCO) can be elevated during the acute phase.
