    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Needle pleural biopsy is an effective diagnostic tool for tuberculous and neoplastic pleurisies, yielding higher positive results than other methods. Its low complication rate makes it suitable for non-purulent pleurisy cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology
    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Pathology

    Context:

    • Pleurisy diagnosis presents challenges.
    • Traditional diagnostic methods like bacteriology and cytology have limitations.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic yield and safety of Castelain needle pleural biopsy.
    • To compare its efficacy against other diagnostic techniques for pleurisy.

    Summary:

    • Castelain needle pleural biopsy was performed on 230 patients with pleurisy.
    • Positive diagnostic rates were 85.7% for tuberculous and 50% for neoplastic pleurisies.
    • The needle biopsy showed higher diagnostic yield compared to bacteriology and pleural cytology.
    • A low incidence of complications (5.5%) was observed.
