[Contribution of bronchial fibroscopy in pneumonology services in developing countries].

Bronchial fibroscopy is a recent investigation method that requires equipment and facilities difficult to implement in respiratory diseases units in developing countries. In Burkina Faso, this technique was introduced for the first time in February 1997. The purpose of this study was to determine the contribution of bronchial fibroscopy for the diagnosis of respiratory disease in countries with limited resources.
