At present there is no test available which identifies children suffering from silent aspiration due to gastroesophageal reflux (GER). The purpose of this study was to determine whether lipid-laden alveolar macrophage (LLAM) scoring is a useful method to arrive at the diagnosis. We evaluated broncho
Chronic pulmonary aspiration (CPA) causes significant morbidity, but is underdiagnosed because of difficulties in establishing a diagnosis. The lipid-laden macrophage index (LLMI) is said to differentiate between those with and without CPA. Records of 113 patients were reviewed to determine specific
