Protein concentrations in the diagnostic BAL and the consecutive 500 ml portions of lung lavages from patients with juvenile PAP (J01 – J10), a patient with cholesterol pneumonitis and PAP (CHOL) and 3 adult patients with idiopathic PAP (A04 – A06). Each symbol represents the protein concentration of one 500 ml portion lavage fluid recovered from one side. The numbers of BAL done on each side are indicated in Table 1. Horizontal bars indicate medians. Note the different scales of the protein axis.
