Abstract
Goal of the study: to investigate ultrasonographic manifestations of tuberculous pleurisy.
Materials and methods. 147 new patients suffering from exudative tuberculous pleurisy were examined as well as 90 patients both male and female suffering from non-specific pleural lesions at age from 18 to 65 years old in the out-patient diagnostic department of National Phthisiology Center, Kyrgyzstan Republic. Ultrasonographic manifestations and their intensity were compared in the patients with pleural lesions.
Results. The following was confidently more often registered in those suffering from tuberculous pleurisy: fibrin deposits on pulmonary pleurae (66.7 ± 3.4%); echogenic suspension, fibrin flakes in pleural fluid (86.3 ± 2.85%); thickness of pleura more than 4 mm (76.3 ± 3.2%); thickness of fibrin deposits more than 4 mm (75.5 ± 3.3%); thick fibrin fibers (80.5 ± 2.2%).
