2. Pleural effusion adenosine deaminase: a candidate biomarker to discriminate between Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial infections of the pleural space
OBJECTIVES: Delay in the treatment of pleural infection may contribute to its high mortality. In this retrospective study, we aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of pleural adenosine deaminase in discrimination between Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial infections of the pleural space prior to selecting antibiotics. METHODS: A total of 76 pati

4. Validação de escore e analise de variaveis indicativas de drenagem pleural em crianças e adolescentes com derrame pleural parapneumonico
The terapeutic decisions for parapneumonic efusion (PPE) in children are still controversial. A partnership between pediatricians and surgeons arised an indicative score to chest-tube drainage. This research aims to evaluate the score usage and the PPE treatment. This is a retrospective cross-section study with 250 pacients with PPE at the pediatric ward bet

5. Treatment of pleural empyema secondary to pneumonia: thoracocentesis regimen versus tube drainage.
BACKGROUND: Pleural empyema is a well known complication of pneumonia. Attitudes differ, however, about the best treatment of this condition and the place of drainage, early operation, and local antibiotics. METHODS: In a retrospective study 94 consecutive patients with verified empyema caused by pneumonia were admitted to the department of either pulmonary

6. Intrapleural Corynebacterium parvum for malignant pleural effusions.
A pilot study of topical (intrapleural) treatment with Corynebacterium parvum was carried out in 10 patients with malignant pleural effusions complicating primary or secondary neoplasms and necessitating frequent thoracocentesis for symptomatic relief. The method was aspiration of all intrapleural fluid except a small portion left for dilution, and then inje

7. Empyema and mediastinitis complicating retropharyngeal abscess.
A 21 year old man with a retropharyngeal abscess complained of right sided chest pain, and chest radiography and thoracocentesis revealed an empyema. A computed tomographic scan of the chest showed a posterior mediastinal abscess communicating with the right pleural cavity. Emergency thoracotomy was performed and the mediastinal abscess and empyema were drai

8. The medical management of idiopathic chylothorax in a domestic long-haired cat
A 3-year-old, spayed female domestic long-hair was evaluated for a 2-week history of progressive tachypnea. Chylothorax was diagnosed through radiographic and pleural fluid evaluation. No primary cause was identified and the cat was managed medically. Thoracocentesis, dietary management, and oral rutin therapy resulted in substantial improvement of this idio

9. Comparative study of penetration of lomefloxacin and ceftriaxone into transudative and exudative pleural effusion.
We investigated the transpleural penetration of lomefloxacin (LFLX) and ceftriaxone (CTRX). LFLX (200 mg) was administered orally to three patients with transudative fluid and four with exudative fluid, and 2 g of CTRX was administered by drip infusion to four patients with transudative fluid and three with exudative fluid. For both groups that received LFLX

10. Role of streptokinase in the treatment of acute loculated parapneumonic pleural effusions and empyema.
BACKGROUND--Intrapleural administration of streptokinase has been shown in a few small series to be effective treatment for complicated parapneumonic effusions and pleural empyemas, but techniques of instillation of streptokinase differ. The role of streptokinase in promoting drainage was investigated prospectively in a larger series of patients with complic
