The invention discloses a novel preservation solution for an alveolar lavage fluid microbial nucleic acid. The preservation solution comprises a treatment solution I and a treatment solution II, wherein the treatment solution I comprises a guanidine hydrochloride buffer solution, a nuclease inhibitor, a metabolism inhibitor, an alkali metal halide and glycerol, and the treatment solution II comprises an alkali metal hydroxide and a surfactant. The treatment solution I and the treatment solution II which are separately stored are used as the novel preservation solution for the alveolar lavage fluid microbial nucleic acid, so that the preservation solution can be prevented from generating precipitates, at the same time, different interference impurities can be treated respectively in a targeted manner, alveolar lavage fluid samples can be rapidly stabilized, the activity of nuclease is effectively inhibited, the cell lysis is prevented, at the same time, the free nucleic acid in the alveolar lavage fluid can be well protected, the preservation time is long, the accuracy and convenience of nucleic acid detection are improved, and thereby the preservation solution has great applicationvalue in the detection and diagnosis of tumor diseases, viruses and the like.
