Abstract		Today bronchoscope represents a diganostic and therapeutic procedure we cannot do without. Mostly flexible bronchoscope is used, although rigid bronchoscope kept its advantage over flexible one in certain situations (eg.massive haemorrhage, removal of larger foreign bodies etc.). Flexible bronchoscope can be introduced transnasaly or through the mouth. Either way bronchoscope passes an area heavily clonised with numerous micro-organisms, which are then carried by the instrument to lower parts of the respiratory system. The author was interested in how often an infection occurs as a complication of bronchoscope. The article offers a review of written data on genuine and pseudoinfections and possibilities of preventing them.
Summary		Bronhoskopija je danes nepogrešljiv diagnostični in terapevtski postopek. Večinoma se uporablja upogljiv bronhoskop, čeprav je rigidni bronhoskop ohranil prednost v določenih situacijah (npr. masivna krvavitev, odstranitev večjih tujkov ipd.). Upogljivi bronhoskop lahko uvedemo skozi nos ali skozi usta. V obeh primerih gre bronhoskop skozi področje, naseljeno s številnimi mikroorganizmi, ki jih z inštrumentom zanesemo v spodnje dele dihalnih poti. Avtorico članka je zanimalo, kako pogosto se pojavljajo okužbe (bakteriemija, pneumonija) kot zaplet bronhoskopije. V članku je podan pregled poročil o pravih in psevdookužbah ter možostih za njihovo preprečevanje.
