serous cavity effusion pathogen

The serous effusion has the distinction of exudate and leakage. Exudates are more common in bacterial infections and parasitic infections, such as pleurisy, peritonitis, and pericarditis. Basic Information Specialist classification: Respiratory examination classification: pathogenic microbiological examination Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: not fasting Analysis results: Below normal: Normal value: no Above normal: negative: Normal, the leakage liquid is free of pathogens, and the exudate shows pathogens. Positive: The abnormality is indicated. According to the type of pathogen found in the effusion, the inflammatory exudation of which pathogen infection is diagnosed can be clearly determined. After treatment, inflammatory exudation is reduced and pathogens can disappear from the exudate. Reminder: When the serous effusion is taken during the examination, the patient has no special precautions. Normal value The leakage liquid is free of pathogens, and the exudate shows pathogens. Clinical significance Abnormal result According to the type of pathogen found in the effusion, the inflammatory exudation of which pathogen infection is diagnosed can be clearly determined. After treatment, inflammatory exudation is reduced and pathogens can disappear from the exudate. People who need to be tested Pleural cavity, ascites, pericardial effusion, connective tissue disease, tuberculosis, cirrhosis, heart failure. Positive results may be diseases: pleurisy, tuberculous pleurisy, peritonitis, pericarditis considerations Before the test: Try to rest as appropriate. At the time of examination: the serous effusion was taken, and the patient had no special precautions. Unsuitable for the crowd: critically ill, severe bleeding tendency, large hemoptysis, inflammatory lesions at the puncture site, allergic to anesthetics, pleural adhesions, pleural cavity disappearance should not be done this test. Inspection process Staining method, the nucleated cell classification of serous effusion should be centrifuged and precipitated immediately after the effusion is taken. The smear of the sediment is smeared and the nucleated cells are classified under the oil microscope. If necessary, cells can be collected using a cell slide centrifugation analyzer to improve the accuracy of cell sorting. Not suitable for the crowd Taboo people: The condition is critical, there is a serious bleeding tendency, large hemoptysis, inflammatory lesions at the puncture site, allergic to anesthetics, pleural adhesions, pleural cavity disappearance should not be done this test. Adverse reactions and risks If the doctor does not operate properly, it may cause pneumothorax during puncture.
