Forty patients with undiagnosed pleural effusions were investigated by pleuroscopy, using a fiberoptic bronchoscope. Pleural biopsies diagnostic of tuberculosis were obtained in 17 cases, and in 12 of these tubercle bacilli were cultured from the pleural fluid. Pleural biopsy at thoracoscopy is superior to the percutaneous intercostal route and for this purpose the fiberoptic bronchoscope is preferable to the rigid thoracoscope.
对40例未确诊的胸腔积液患者使用纤维支气管镜进行了胸腔镜检查。17例经胸膜活检诊断为结核病,其中12例胸腔积液培养出结核杆菌。胸腔镜下胸膜活检优于经皮肋间途径,为此目的,纤维支气管镜比硬式胸腔镜更可取。
