The diagnostic value of pleural fluid pH.
One hundred eighty-three patients had simultaneous blood and pleural fluid pH determinations. Thirty-six effusions were transudates, and 147 were exudates. In 46 effusions, the pleural fluid pH was less than 7.30; all 46 were exudates. A pleural fluid pH less than 7.30 was associated with the following six diagnoses: (1) empyema; (2) malignancy; (3) collagen vascular disease; (4) tuberculosis; ...
متن کاملDiagnostic value of synovial fluid microscopy: a reassessment and rationalisation.
This study is in two parts. In the first synovial fluid from 1892 patients with 14 different arthropathies was examined microscopically. Crystals of different types were identified and the disease distribution of these and various cell types, including several not previously reported in synovial fluid, have been described. These features have been used to derive a series of microscopic diagnost...
متن کاملDiagnostic value of circulating tumor cells in cerebrospinal fluid
OBJECTIVE To assess circulating tumor cells in cerebrospinal fluid as a diagnostic approach to identify meningeal metastasis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer by using tumor marker immunostaining-fluorescence in situ hybridization (TM-iFISH). METHODS In 5 non-small cell lung cancer patients who were confirmed to have developed meningeal metastasis by cerebrospinal fluid cytology, 20...
متن کاملDifferential diagnostic value of plasma cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.
The aim of this study was to investigate whether the demonstration of plasma cells (PC), which are normally absent in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid, facilitates differentiation among pulmonary disorders. Initial BAL fluid samples of 1,260 patients were analyzed. In 83 of these, PC were found. Of these 83, 47 were obtained from individuals suffering from extrinsic allergic alveolitis (EAA)....
متن کاملDiagnostic value of pleural fluid cytology in occult Boerhaave's syndrome.
When Boerhaave's syndrome presents with atypical clinical features and eludes prompt diagnosis, delays in surgical therapy increase complications and mortality. We present a patient with occult Boerhaave's syndrome who had nondiagnostic esophageal contrast studies and thoracic computed tomography. Pleural fluid cytologic analysis established the presence of esophageal rupture by detecting undig...
