What is Absence of Mesothelial Cels in Pleural Effusion about?

This study examines 65 specimens of pleural fluid from 59 patients with bacteriologically confirmed tuberculosis, focusing on the presence of mesothelial cells. The findings indicate that mesothelial cells are consistently absent or scarce in tuberculous pleural effusions, a characteristic more reliable than lymphocytosis in diagnosing the condition. The authors conclude that effusions containing numerous mesothelial cells are unlikely to be caused by tuberculosis.
