Abstract
Interstitial lung diseases are a heterogeneous group of respiratory diseases that are difficult to diagnose. The study of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) by flow cytometry can define typical cell patterns in different diseases, providing some help in differential diagnosis. In this article, we present a case of interstitial lung disease of unknown origin, in a patient previously diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis who received treatment with methotrexate.
