Patients were assigned to groups based on the presence or not of RPT (> 10 mm) three months or more...
متن کاملFactors Influencing Residual Pleural Opacity in Tuberculous Pleural Effusion
Tuberculous pleural effusion (TPE) leads to residual pleural opacity (RPO) in a significant proportion of cases. The aim of this study was to investigate which TPE patients would have RPO following the treatment. This study was performed prospectively for a total of 60 TPE patients, who underwent pleural fluid analysis on the initial visit and chest radiographs and computed tomography (CT) scan...
