Pleural fluid is straw-colored and exudative with elevated protein levels, low to normal glucose, and a median pH of 7.3. Pleocytosis (500-2500 cells/microliter are noted) with lymphocytic predominance usually is seen, but case series also have demonstrated neutrophilic predominance 422. A low p...
Pleural fluid analysis: Pleural fluid analysis is a group of tests used to diagnose the cause of TB. CT scan: CT scan of chest helps confirm pulmonary TB. What happens if I have TB? If you have been diagnosed with tuberculosis, you’re likely to be prescribed rifampicin, isoniazid, p...
The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of QFT-G in pleural fluid for tuberculous pleurisy were 43.5%, 54.5%, 30.3% and 100%; and of ADA in pleural fluid (>40IU/ml) for tuberculous pleurisy the results were 82.6%, 96.1%, 90.5% and 92.5% ...
Studies have shown that primary TB and CAP may be associated with pleural effusion and cavitation. Reactivation TB In classic reactivation TB, pulmonary lesions are located in the posterior segment of the right upper lobe, the apicoposterior segment of the left upper lobe, and the apical segments...
Smear negative sputum, bronchial aspirate and pleural fluid had higher positivity rate (16.2% vs 9.8%) and shorter detection time (11.1 vs 30.7 days) when BACTEC MFIT was compared to LJ culture [42]. A 3-year Massachusetts General Hospital study reported that found that 10% of all cultures...

portion of one or both lungs. This causes a condition known aspulmonary tuberculosis, a highly infectious stage of the disease. In some cases the infection may break into the pleural space between the lung and the chest wall, causing apleural effusion, or collection of fluid outside the lung...
A patient should be considered to have limited-stage disease if the effusion is too small to allow image-guided sampling or if: (1) cytopathologic examination of pleural fluid is negative for cancer; (2) the fluid is not bloody and not an exudate; and (3) clinical judgment suggests that...
xWhile most pleural effusions associated with lung cancer are due to tumor, there are a few patients in whom multiple cytopathologic examinations of pleural fluid are negative for tumor and fluid is non-bloody and not an exudate. When these elements and clinical judgment dictate that the ...
摘要: BACKGROUND: The optimal volume of pleural fluid to diagnose a malignant effusion is unknown. Our study was designed to demonstrate if a minimum pleural fluid volume (10 mL) is equi... 查看全部>>DOI: 10.1378/chest.136.4_meetingabstracts.31s-g ...
