    Updated 9/27/2019

    The purpose of this document is to provide general specimen collection and storage guidance for healthcare providers and public health laboratory personnel involved in the care of patients who meet, or are highly suspected of meeting, the case definition for lung injury associated with e-cigarette use, or vaping. These recommendations are not intended to direct laboratory guidance for patient care. Empiric collection instructions are limited to collection and storage of blood and urine. For clinicians treating patients who have undergone bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), instructions are provided for preservation of BAL fluid. This guidance is provided in case a useful marker specific to respiratory disease caused by e-cigarette products is identified in the future.
