Background and purpose: Pleural effusion is a common finding in many pulmonary or extrapulmonary diseases and its analysis is essential for differentiating transudates from exudates. Light's criteria is questioned by some researchers and measuring of cholesterol in pleural effusion is proposed due to its simplicity and low cost. This study evaluates the diagnostic value of pleural fluid chole...
background: blind percutaneous pleural biopsy has traditionally been performed to investigate the etiology of exudative pleural effusion in which the initial thoracocentesis has been non- diagnostic. in view of the increasing use of image-guided and thoracoscopic pleural biopsies, this study examined the role of blind abrams pleural biopsy in the investigation of the exudative pleural effusion ...
conclusion ct scan is highly accurate in differentiating malignant pleural mesothelioma and metastatic pleural diseases. pleural thickening and thickening of interlobar fissure lead us to the diagnosis of mpm and massive free pleural effusion is more commonly seen in metastatic pleural malignancy. background malignant pleural mesothelioma (mpm) is a rare malignant neoplasm of the pleura that ty...
objective(s) this study planned to assess the value of pcr is6110 assay in tissue specimens of needle pleural biopsy in patients suspicious to pleural tuberculosis. materials and methods sixty eight patients with lymphocytic exudative pleural effusion underwent pleural biopsy. tissue samples were sent for pathologic examination and pcr is6110 assay. the results of pcr reported as positive/ nega...
the causes and situation of exudative pleural effusion vary from one area to another. a cross-sectional study was conducted on 327 patients with exudative pleural effusion in south khorasan province (iran). the patients were older than 12 years and comprised 172 (52.6%) males and 155 (47.4%) females. the study commenced in 2007 with seven years duration. the light’s criteria were used to define...
Background & Aims: Pleural effusion is the most common form of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis. With the advancement of endoscopic techniques, thoracoscopy has been identified as a diagnostic procedure for Pleural TB.

The aim of this study is to analyze the characteristics of pleural metastasis of renal clear cell carcinoma, pleural effusion under medical thoracoscopy and the diagnostic value of interventional thoracoscopy-guided biopsy, and to improve the understanding of pleural metastasis of renal clear cell carcin...
introduction: different etiologies of pleural effusion are diagnosed based on serum and plural fluid characteristics. the aim of this study was to assess and compare the serum and pleural fluid protein to lactate dehyrogenase (pr/ldh) ratio in exudative pleural effusions. materials and methods: this study was conducted on 60 patients with exudative pleural effusion including: 20 cases with para...
