Adenoviral cytopathic changes in pleural fluid: A unique cytological presentation mimicking malignancy
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Diagnostic Cytopathology"
DOI: 10.1002/dc.24662
Abstract: Adenoviruses are emerging as important viral pathogens in immunocompromised patients due to immunodeficiency diseases and recently hematopoietic stem cell and solid organ transplant recipients, impacting morbidity and even mortality. Immunocompromised children are prone to respiratory… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00408-017-0032-3
Abstract: BackgroundThe usefulness of clinical, radiological and pleural fluid analytical parameters for diagnosing malignant and paramalignant pleural effusion is not clearly stated. Hence this study aimed to identify possible predictor variables of diagnosing malignancy in pleural… read more here.
