    Abstract

    Introduction- One of the main causes of morbidity and death for patients hospitalized to the intensive care unit is pneumonia. In these patients, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is frequently utilized to aid in the diagnosis and characterization of pneumonia. Compared to BAL, mini-BAL and ETA are less intrusive, expensive, and time-consuming diagnostic tools. The present study was conducted to compare microbiological examination of aspirate, taken by fiberoptic bronchoscope, mini-bal and et-aspirate from patients with diagnosis of pneumonia in intensive care unit
