The aim of this study was to show the influence of the changes in incidence of tuberculosis and lung cancer on the etiology of pleural effusion among the patients of the Hospital of Lung Diseases and Tuberculosis. To this end 349 patients with pleural effusion were separated from the total number of 9786 patients treated in years 1990-1999. The most numerous group--180 patients (51.58%)--consisted of the cases of malignant neoplasms, 109 (31.25%)--tuberculosis and 60 (17.17%)--remaining diseases altogether. At the time, the statistically significant increase of the whole number of patients with pleural effusion as well as the increase of patients with pleural effusion caused by malignant tumors were recorded. It was shown that the increasing incidence of lung cancer in Silesia at that time caused the change of the profile of the Hospital of Lung Diseases and Tuberculosis.
本研究的目的是揭示结核病和肺癌发病率的变化对肺病与结核病医院患者胸腔积液病因的影响。为此，从1990年至1999年接受治疗的9786名患者总数中分离出349例胸腔积液患者。人数最多的一组——180例患者（51.58%）——为恶性肿瘤病例，109例（31.25%）——为结核病患者，60例（17.17%）——为其他各类疾病患者。当时，记录到胸腔积液患者总数有统计学意义的增加以及由恶性肿瘤导致的胸腔积液患者数量增加。结果表明，当时西里西亚肺癌发病率的上升导致了肺病与结核病医院患者情况的变化。
