We evaluated the diagnostic value of thoracoscopic examinations in eleven patients who had pleural effusion and were diagnosed as tuberculous pleurisy. The characteristic white or yellowish-white micronodules were observed by thoracoscopy in eight patients and all their biopsied tissue were compatible with tuberculosis. We had some cases which were not determined as tuberculous pleurisy from bacteriological examinations and were determined only from the thoracoscopic findings.
我们评估了胸腔镜检查对11例胸腔积液且被诊断为结核性胸膜炎患者的诊断价值。通过胸腔镜观察到8例患者有特征性的白色或黄白色小结节，且所有活检组织均符合结核病表现。我们有一些病例，细菌学检查未确定为结核性胸膜炎，仅根据胸腔镜检查结果得以确诊。
