Abstract

PURPOSE: Infectious pleural effusions (IPEs) are common clinical problems that require an adequate approach to avoid the risk of pleural thickness and pleural decortication. The imbalance between serum and pleural fluid pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines may be important in guiding the strategies of treatment and thus influence the outcome of the IPEs.
