The average age of the overall patients was 38.1. ②Occurrence rate for fever, cough, chest pain was 73.6%, 57.7% and 51.9% respectively. ③Occurence rate for unilateral pleural effusion, bilateral pleural effusion, left and right lateral pleural effusion was 93.0%, 7.0%, 47.8% and 45.2% respectively. ④Moderate and mild pleural effusion was 94.5%, severe pleural effusion was only 5.5%. ⑤The patients with pleurisy occupied 16% for the overall. The patients of tuberculous pleurisy complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis were 47.8%. ⑥The patients with yellow pleural effusion was 89.6%. With bleeding pleural effusion was 10.4%. ⑦The positive rate of M.tuberculosis was 3.2% and 16.8% in pleural effusion and sputum. ⑧The positive rate in PPD reaction was 83.3%. ⑨The increasing ESR was 64.9%, and its mean value was 46.9mm/1h.
