Abstract
The role of clinical and instrumental studies into the nature of pleural effusion obtained through transthoracic puncture was ascertained in 639 with pulmonary pathology. An algorithm was developed for the application of this method to differential diagnosis of different forms of pleuritis. Etiopathogenetic groups of patients with terminal differentiation of this pathology were distinguished.
