Pleural fluid
Normally 10-15ml of pleural fluid is present in the pleural cavity.
Pleural fluid is produced by pairetal & visceral layers.
Most of the fluid is removed by the lymphatics, remaining fluid lubricates the lung & chest wall.
![Page 4: Pathology of pleura & laboratory investigations in lung diseases DR.USHA.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062618/55143cea550346414e8b4752/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Pleural effusion
Is the accumulation of excess fluid in the pleural cavity.
Important manifestation Normally, no more than 15ml of
serous fluid present. This fluid is acellular, clear fluid that lubricates the surface.

Etiology of pleural effusion
1. Increased hydrostatic pressure, as in congestive cardiac failure.
2. Increased vascular permeability, as in Pneumonias.
3. Decreased osmotic pressure, as in Nephrotic syndrome.
4. Decreased lymphatic drainage, as in Mediastinal carcinomatosis.

Permanent collapse of the lung (Compression atelactesis)
Pleural thickening, Adhesions Empyema

Pneumothorax
Accumulation of air in the pleural cavity.
![Page 28: Pathology of pleura & laboratory investigations in lung diseases DR.USHA.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062618/55143cea550346414e8b4752/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Causes of pneumothorax
1. Spontaneous:Emphysema,Bronchial asthma,
Tuberculosis.2. Traumatic:Perforating injury to the chest wall3.Therapeutic:Was once used in treatment of
tuberculosis
![Page 29: Pathology of pleura & laboratory investigations in lung diseases DR.USHA.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062618/55143cea550346414e8b4752/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Types of pneumothorax
1. Closed type- the opening is very small & heals spontaneously
2. Open type- the opening is large & remains patent
3. Tension- the opening is valvular(air enters the pleural space during inspiration but cannot escape during expiration so that a positive pressure occurs in the pleural cavity.
![Page 30: Pathology of pleura & laboratory investigations in lung diseases DR.USHA.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062618/55143cea550346414e8b4752/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Pleuritic chest pain Dyspnea Collapse Crack pot sound on percussion Hyper-resonent sound on
auscultation

Clinical significance of Pneumothorax
1. Compression of pleura on lung may lead to Atelactasis & leading to Respiratory distress.
2. Tension pneumothorax- results if the defect acts as ball valve permitting entry of air & preventing escape of air.

Collection of sputum
Early morning sample is preferred as it represents the pulmonary secretions.
![Page 48: Pathology of pleura & laboratory investigations in lung diseases DR.USHA.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062618/55143cea550346414e8b4752/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Sputum examination
Macroscopic examination Microscopic examination Sputum culture
![Page 49: Pathology of pleura & laboratory investigations in lung diseases DR.USHA.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062618/55143cea550346414e8b4752/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Macroscopic examination1. Volume: a 24 hrs sputum is measured in
chronic bronchitis, lung abscess, bronchial asthma. An increasing volume of sputum indicates bad prognosis.
2. Colour: normal sputum is clear & colorless.
Yellowish- infectious process like pneumoniaGreenish tint- pseudomonasRust colored- pneumococcal pneumoniaBright red- pulmonary infarction,
tuberculosis, malignancy.
![Page 50: Pathology of pleura & laboratory investigations in lung diseases DR.USHA.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062618/55143cea550346414e8b4752/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
3. Odour: normal sputum is odourless.
Putrid odour- seen in lung abscess, cavitary tuberculosis.
![Page 51: Pathology of pleura & laboratory investigations in lung diseases DR.USHA.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062618/55143cea550346414e8b4752/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Microscopic examination
Gram’s stain-detect various bacteria
Ziehl Neelson’s stain- detect AFB Pap’s/ H&E stain- for cytological
examination. Normally sputum shows few tracheobronchial cells, occasional squamous cells & inflammatory cells.
![Page 52: Pathology of pleura & laboratory investigations in lung diseases DR.USHA.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062618/55143cea550346414e8b4752/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

Disadvantages
Detects lesions which opens into bronchi. Peripheral lung lesions may be missed.
Difficult in children, comatose patients.
Contamination with oral secretions.
![Page 60: Pathology of pleura & laboratory investigations in lung diseases DR.USHA.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062618/55143cea550346414e8b4752/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Bronchial washings
An bronchoscope is passed via trachea into bronchioles & about 5ml of balanced salt solution is introduced.
Solution introduced is aspirated back & collected in a sterile container.
Solution is smeared, stained with PAP’s stain & examined.

FNAC Lung
Fine needle aspiration is useful in peripheral lung lesions which are missed with sputum examination & Bronchoscopy.
Adv:OPD based, less expensive Dis:invasive procedure, not hit the
lesion,
