Early effective drainage in the treatment of loculated tuberculous pleurisy.
The role of early effective drainage in loculated tuberculous (TB) pleurisy treatment remains unclear. Consecutive patients with TB pleurisy subjected to anti-TB treatment and pigtail drainage (n = 64) were divided into three groups: 1) patients with free-flowing effusions irrigated with saline (free-flowing group; n = 20); 2) patients with loculated effusions irrigated with streptokinase (stre...
متن کاملRevisiting tuberculous pleurisy: pleural fluid characteristics and diagnostic yield of mycobacterial culture in an endemic area
BACKGROUND Tuberculous pleurisy is traditionally indicated by extreme lymphocytosis in pleural fluid and low yield of effusion culture. However, there is considerable inconsistency among previous study results. In addition, these data should be updated due to early effusion studies and advances in culture methods. METHODS From January 2004 to June 2009, patients with tuberculous pleurisy were...
متن کاملCombined Use of Pleural Fluid Adenosine Deaminase (ADA), Cytology, Pleural Biopsy and Mantoux test In the Diagnosis of Tuberculous Pleural Effusion
The objective of the present study is to evaluate the use of pleural fluid ADA, cytology, pleural biopsy and Mantoux test in the diagnosis of tuberculous pleural effusion. This prospective study was conducted on 92 patients December 2011– October 2013 at Government Chest Diseases and Tuberculosis Hospital, Hanamkonda. Diagnostic accuracy of pleural fluid cytology (L/N ratio >0.75) , ADA >40 U/L...
متن کاملSubpleural mononuclear cell infiltration. Significance in the differential diagnosis of pleuritis showing nonspecific histologic findings.
To determine if patients who had lymphocyte-rich pleural effusion and a pleural biopsy without any specific findings could be histopathologically differentiated between those with tuberculous and nontuberculous pleuritis, we histologically re-evaluated the pleural biopsies of all patients whose pleural effusion was predominant with lymphocytes and contained no malignant cells. A total of 40 pat...
متن کاملCryptococcal Pleuritis Presenting with Lymphocyte-predominant and High Levels of Adenosine Deaminase in Pleural Effusions Coincident with Pulmonary Tuberculosis
Co-infection with cryptococcus and tuberculosis has rarely been reported. We herein report a case of an 80-year-old man with cryptococcal pleuritis concurrent with pulmonary tuberculosis. He was admitted for progression of left pleural effusion and consolidation in the left upper lobe. Culture for Mycobacterium tuberculosis was positive in sputum, and analyses of pleural effusion revealed lymph...
