    Abstract

    Introduction : Even after thoracentesis and closed pleural biopsies, properly diagnosing pleural effusion is still a challenging task. It has been demonstrated that medical thoracoscopy has a higher diagnostic yield for diagnosing exudative pleural effusion. Pleural specimens could be obtained via medical thoracoscopy using forceps biopsy, pleural brush, and lavage.
