Severe Fibrosing Pleuritis Secondary to Chronic Chylothorax in a Domestic Cat

Case Reports in Veterinary Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Fibrosing pleuritis is a serious respiratory complication associated with chronic inflammation of the pleura, which leads to pleural thickening, atelectasis, or pulmonary entrapment, and an unfavorable prognosis. In cats, it is rare and is mainly caused by chylothorax—an effusion that is particularly irritating to the thoracic cavity.

Comparative Evaluation of Pleural Fluid Cholesterol and Total Protein Versus Light's Criteria in Differentiation of Exudates and Transudates: A Cross‐Sectional Analysis at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital

The Clinical Respiratory Journal, Volume 19, Issue 9, September 2025.
Combined pleural fluid total protein and cholesterol demonstrated perfect specificity and positive predictive value (PPV), but Light's criteria showed high sensitivity (98.4%). Thus, combination offers superior diagnostic accuracy as compared to Light's criteria alone, with all test statistically significant (p < 0.0001).
