Highlights

  • Since the advent of antibiotics the microbial etiology of pleural space infections has changed. This can be due to patients related factors such as trauma, underlying disease or surgical procedures, or other reason can be due to methodological factors viz specimen collection, transport

  • Since the introduction of antibiotics in 1970s the microbial aetiology of pleural space infections has changed, this can be due to patients related factors such as trauma, underlying disease or surgical procedures, or other reason can be due to methodological factors viz specimen collection, transport and its culture

  • [9] All the samples of Pleural fluid received in RNTCP were processed in CBNAAT (Cartridge Based Nucleic Acid Amplification Test) for Mycobacterium tuberculosis detection

Summary

Introduction

Since the advent of antibiotics the microbial etiology of pleural space infections has changed. Complications of pneumonia usually give rise to empyema but it may arise due to infections at other sites.[2] Since the introduction of antibiotics in 1970s the microbial aetiology of pleural space infections has changed, this can be due to patients related factors such as trauma, underlying disease or surgical procedures, or other reason can be due to methodological factors viz specimen collection, transport and its culture. The pleural fluid samples collected aseptically by throracocentesis from patients of various departments in hospital and received in microbiology laboratory for bacteriological culture from IPD patients and for mycobacterium detection from opd patients in RNTCP center were included in the study which were received between June 2018 to Corresponding Author:-Tazammul Hussain.
