    This study models tuberculous pleurisy in rabbits, detailing cellular changes in pleural fluid. Early polymorphonuclear leukocyte response suggests a key role in host defense against tuberculosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pulmonology

    Background:

    • Tuberculous pleurisy involves complex host-pathogen interactions within the pleural space.
    • Understanding the sequential cellular and biochemical events is crucial for developing effective therapeutic strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To establish a rabbit model of tuberculous pleurisy.
    • To characterize the temporal cellular and biochemical alterations in pleural fluid following Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) instillation.

    Main Methods:

    • New Zealand white rabbits, sensitized with intradermal BCG, received intrapleural BCG (4 x 10(7) CFU).
    • Pleural fluid was serially collected via thoracentesis.
    • Cellular populations (polymorphonuclear leukocytes, macrophages, lymphocytes) and fluid parameters were analyzed over 144 hours.

    Main Results:

    • An exudative pleural effusion with normal pH and glucose was observed up to 144 hours.
    • Polymorphonuclear leukocytes were the initial predominant cells, followed by macrophages peaking at 96 hours, and then lymphocytes.
    • Granulomata formation was evident on pleural surfaces by day ten.

    Conclusions:

    • The early polymorphonuclear leukocyte influx is a specific response, not merely due to pleural injury.
    • Leukocyte and macrophage interactions likely play a significant role in the host's defense against tubercle bacilli.
