Comparison of Characteristics of Bronchoalveolar Lavage Dusting and of Specific Questionnary Data in Healthy Volunteers and Patients Suffering From Sarcoidosis

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Sarcoidosis
Interventions
Other: Bronchoalveolar lavage
Registration Number
NCT02863406
Lead Sponsor
Centre Hospitalier Saint Joseph Saint Luc de Lyon
Brief Summary

Comparison of dusting rate of bronchoalveolar lavage in healthy volunteers and patients suffering from sarcoidosis.

Blind analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage with Optical Microscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy and MicroAnalysis.

For patients, comparison of bronchoalveolar lavage, pathological examination of biopsies (Optical Microscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy and MicroAnalysis) and specific Professional and environmental questionnary.

Healthy volunteers matched with patients regarding to age (every 10 years), sex and tobacco consumption (non-smoking, smoking less than 5 pack-year, smoking between 5 and 10 pack-year, smoking more than 10 pack-year)
