Summary

In the diagnosis of patients with sarcoidosis, there is paucity of literature on the diagnostic yield of the endobronchial biopsies obtained with narrow band imaging (NBI) bronchoscopy. The present study aims to compare the diagnostic yield of endobronchial biopsyperformed under direct narrow band imaging or white light bronchoscopy guidance in suspected sarcoidosis.We hypothesize that the use of NBI will improve the yield of endobronchial biopsy in patients with sarcoidosis.

Conditions

  • Sarcoidosis, Pulmonary

Interventions

DEVICE

Narrow band imaging bronchoscopy guided endobronchial biopsy

Examination of the airways will be performed with the narrow band imaging mode using a flexible video-bronchoscope (BF-1T 180, Olympus Medical, Japan). Endobronchial biopsies will be performed from the abnormal areas as deemed by the operator.

DEVICE

White light bronchscopy guided endobronchial biopsy

Examination of the airways will be performed with the white light bronchoscopy mode using a flexible video-bronchoscope (BF-1T 180, Olympus Medical, Japan). Endobronchial biopsies will be performed from the abnormal areas as deemed by the operator.
