Pleural fluid lysozyme in tuberculous and non-tuberculous pleurisy.
The series comprised 37 patients admitted to hospital for the diagnostic evaluation of one-sided or bilateral pleurisy. Patients with malignancies of extrapulmonary tissues were not included. The diagnosis of pleurisy was based on clinical, laboratory, and radiological findings. The patients were divided into three groups according to the final diagnosis: (a) those with tuberculous pleurisy, (b...
متن کاملThe MBT Adherence and Competence Scale (MBT-ACS): development, structure and reliability.
The properties of the 17-item Mentalization-Based Treatment Adherence and Competence Scale (MBT-ACS) were investigated in a reliability study in which 18 psychotherapy sessions, comprising two sessions by nine different therapists, were rated by seven different raters. The overall reliabilities for adherence and competence for seven raters were high, .84 and .88 respectively. The level of relia...
متن کاملALTERATION OF T-LYMPHOCYTE SUBPOPULATIONS IN SUBACUTE AND CHRONIC BRUCELLOSIS
Human brucellosis is a major health problem in developing countries. A number of patients with human brucellosis do not recover from the acute stage of the disease and pass into the chronic form. Since the pathophysiology of this change is not well understood, we studied the T-cell subsets during the acute, subacute and chronic forms of human brucellosis. In this study we found alterations...
متن کاملAssociation between Elevated Pleural Interleukin-33 Levels and Tuberculous Pleurisy
BACKGROUND Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) plays a crucial role in Mycobacterium tuberculosis induced pleural responses. Interleukin (IL)-33 up-regulates the production of IFN-γ. We aimed to identify whether an association between pleural IL-33 levels and tuberculous pleurisy exists and determine its diagnostic value. METHODS Pleural IL-33, ST2 (a receptor of IL-33), adenosine deaminase (ADA), and IFN-γ...
متن کاملPleural effusion adenosine deaminase (ADA) level and occult tuberculous pleurisy.
BACKGROUND We investigated the incidence of tuberculous pleurisy among patients with adenosine deaminase (ADA) levels of 50 IU/L or less in a pleural effusion, and without a previous diagnosis of carcinomatous pleurisy or Mycobacterium tuberculosis. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Subjects were selected from patients who had undergone pleural biopsy by thoracoscopy at National Hospital Organization Toky...
