In a cohort of TB patients in Hong Kong, the serum sCD25 values were markedly elevated in patients with pulmo- nary TB (parenchymal lesion and pleural effusion) com- pared with old inactive TB patients, and normal control subjects [24]. In our study, we found that sCD25 levels were ...
The results of the MRI examination were correlated with other data from the annual check-up, including medical history, lymphatic complications as prolonged pleural effusion, PLE and plastic bronchitis, physical examination, echocardiography, sonography of the abdomen, laboratory tests and hemodynamic data...
Clinically, the patient showed left-sided pleural effusion, jugular venous distension, and a congested liver. During cardiologic work-up, echocardiography, combined left/right heart catheterization and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) established the diagnosis of constrictive pericarditis. Under conservative...
