Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic value of IL-6,IL-8,and TNF-α in malignant pleural effusion and tuberculous pleural effusion.Methods:We detected IL-6,IL-8,and TNF-α in malignant pleural effusion(21 cases)and tuberculous pleural effusion(13cases).Results:The mean values of the three cytokines measured in tuberculous pleural effusion were significantly higher than malignant pleural effusion( P 0.05).Conclusion:The levels of IL-6,IL-8 and TNF-α can distinguish tuberculous pleural effusion from malignant pleural effusion.
