Dark Streaks and Yellow Exudates: Pleuroscopic Clues in Recurrent Post-Traumatic Pleural Effusion. [PDF]

Respirol Case Rep
We report the case of a 44‐year‐old male presenting 2 years after a road traffic accident, requiring emergency splenectomy, left diaphragmatic repair and tube thoracostomy, with a recurrent left‐sided hemorrhagic, exudative, lymphocytic pleural effusion.

Loculated transudate

Cukurova Medical Journal, 2020
The association between heart failure and phantom tumor has been well known for years. Because drainage mechanism exists in parietal pleura, phantom tumors generally localize between fissures. Loculated transudate in peripheral lung areas is extremely rare.

Use of pleural fluid ceruloplasmin in the differentiation of exudative and transudative pleural effusion

Lung India, 2015
Background: Differentiating into transudate or exudate is the first step in the evaluation of effusions. Light′s criteria is the standard but a significant number of transudates may not be differentiated based on these criteria. Acute phase proteins (APP)

Transudative Malignancy: Uncommon and Real

Cureus, 2023
Light's criteria are the cornerstone to differentiate exudates from transudates. The traditional literature states that malignant pleural effusions are rarely transudative; therefore, cytology tends to be low yield and not a cost-effective decision. This case describes an 82-year-old female who developed a transudative pleural effusion despite having ...

Pediatric pleural tuberculosis

International Journal of Mycobacteriology, 2018
Background: Pleural tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis is sometimes controversial because the microbiologic confirmation ratio is very low in pleural fluid. There are few pediatric pleural TB case series in the literature.

Evaluation of pyruvate kinase and oxidative stress parameters in differentiation between transudate and exudate in pleural liquids

Türk Biyokimya Dergisi, 2023
We aimed to investigate the usability of pleural pyruvate kinase (PK), total antioxidant status (TAS), and total oxidant status (TOS) as an alternative to Light’s criteria in exudate-transudate differentiation.

Comparative analysis of pleural fluid biochemical parameters with cholesterol to differentiate transudates from exudates

The Journal of Association of Chest Physicians, 2013
Background: Light′s criteria is the gold standard to differentiate transudative pleural effusion (PE) from exudative PE, but it requires four biochemical estimations which, in developing countries such as India, may not be feasible in every patient due ...

Hydrothorax with alveolar-pleural fistula mimicking re-expansion pulmonary edema during liver transplantation: a case report [PDF]

Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2015
We present a case of an alveolar-pleural fistula with hepatic hydrothorax in a patient undergoing orthotropic liver transplantation, which was detected by drainage of transudate through an endotracheal tube during operation.
