Abstract:
ObjectiveTo investigate the corelation between fibrinogen in pleural effusion and pleural adhesion in tuberculosis exudative pleurisy.Methods234 cases of primary tuberculosis pleurisy were divided into 3 groups (A、B、C) according to their level of fibrinogen in pleural effusion from low to high. The incidence rates of pleural adhesion were assessed during the course of treatment and after treatment.ResultsThe incidence rate of pleural adhesion in the course of treatment were as those: group A 10.5%, group B 32.3%, group C 54.5%. After treatment, it was as those: group A 10.5%, group B 16.9%, group C 42.4%. Whenever, there was significant difference between group C and group A or B (P<0.05).ConclusionThe level of fibrinogen in pleural effusion may be associated with pleural adhesion, which hinder the recovery of patients.
