Abstract

In chronic cough, one of the etiologies is microaspirations due to gastroesophageal reflux diseases. “Lipid-laden macrophage” (LLM) the definition of lipid-containing macrophage after staining with Sudan 4 or Oil Red O. It is considered as a sign of gastroesophageal reflux in recurrent pneumonia.
Materials and Methods
In this study, we retrospectively evaluated the children undergoing bronchoscopy between 2016 and 2019 in our center. Patients’ medical records have been retrospectively analyzed and their parents were called for further information

Keywords
