Patient: fever, cough, fluid extraction, anti-inflammatory treatment, and inpatient observation Now the condition has developed into encapsulated, the doctor does not dare to extract fluid, and has been using anti-inflammatory drugs to stabilize the condition, which does not solve the problem. I hope there is a better treatment, early recovery Laboratory and examination results: pleural effusion Zhejiang Armed Police General Hospital, Department of Thoracic and Cardiac Surgery Deng Xujie
Doctor: First of all, we need to confirm the diagnosis of tuberculosis, whether the PPD test is positive or negative in the examination results, whether the bacteriological examination finds acid-resistant bacilli, whether the blood sedimentation is increased, whether the clinical symptoms are relieved after the diagnostic anti-tuberculosis treatment, if there are conditions, pleural biopsy can be performed If possible, pleural biopsy can be performed to further clarify the diagnosis. If the pleural effusion is indeed caused by tuberculosis and eventually becomes encapsulated, it is usually due to repeated inflammation of the pleura caused by tuberculosis, resulting in thickening of the pleura and formation of fibrous plates, which is difficult to be absorbed by simple anti-inflammation.
