[Pleural tuberculosis: yield of thoracoscopy].

34 tuberculosis with pleural affectation were diagnosed after examining 292 pleural effusions. 19 cases studied were diagnosed by pleuroscopy. The mean age of patients was 38 years old. The cytology, being mainly limphocytes, cultures and bacyloscopy, were all negative. The cultures of the biopsies was positive in 36.7% of the cases. The pathology report was positive in 88% of them. There was macroscopic suspicion of the disease in 73.6% with good macro-microscopic correlation this being the reason of the early treatment applied. We concluded that pleuroscopy is a good technique to diagnose pleural tuberculosis, reducing the hospital admission time.

[Results of talc administration using thoracoscopy in neoplastic pleurisies. Apropos of 218 cases].

The authors report the results of their experience using tale pleurodesis under thoracoscopic control in the treatment of 218 cases of malignant pleural involvement. Although this technique is well tolerated it is necessary to note certain factors which prevent a successful pleurodesis (12% of cases). Thus, huge effusions greater than 12 litres, pleural involvement with large tumour masses, a very long history and patients aged more than 70 years were all factors contributing to a poor outcome. The success of pleural talc also depends on the nature of the primary cancer, for example in our series broncho-pulmonary cancers yielded better results than those effusions which were secondary to ovarian cancers.
