Abstract Sputum examination is one of the most valuable investigation as regards chest diseases It is observed that examinsers of the sputum concentrate on the presence of bacteria Fungi and other living organisms although acellular bodies arc also present in the sputum. Our work repLesents the search for the presence of oxalate crystals in the sputum which is considered one of the most important acellular bodies in the sputum. We try to find its diagnostic value and its relation to different broncho pulmonary diseases In order to benefit from this finding as regards the results and the treatment a thorough study of the acellular tJodies 0specially oxalate crystals in the sputum pul·monary oxalosis and aspergillosis would be essential and we hope that this work will serve this purpose More over a practical study of the oxalate crystals in the sputum, skin sensitivity tests and precipitin tests for aspergilli will serve to provide a deeper ir•sight on tl1e relation of oxalate crystals to the different bronchopulmonary diseases |
