Two cases of hemorrhagic pleurisy

Abstract

It seems interesting to subject to analytical analysis two cases of exudative pleurisy. These pleurisy polyclinically interpreted by doctors as having tuberculous origin. On this basis, the patients were sent to the tuberculosis institute. Both patients left the hospital at the Tubinstitute. A pathological and anatomical section was performed. However, it turned out to be possible to make the correct diagnosis even during the life of the patients, in one case with certainty, in the other with a high probability. With the same hemorrhagic nature of the exudate, the same age of the disease (according to the history) and with the same absence of pathological changes in the free lung, the etiology of pleurisy was different. Incidentally, both in one and in the other case, VCs were not found in sputum. This also brought the cases closer together.
