ACCORDING TO LIGHTS CRITERIA A(To know if the fluid is transudative or exudative)

NORMAL:
Pleural protein/Serum Protein ratio: >0.5
Pleural LDH/Serum LDH ratio: >0.6
Pleural LDH>2/3 upper limit of normal serum LDH
Proteins >30gm/L

My Patient:
Pleural protein/Serum protein ratio:0.7
Pleural LDH/Serum LDH: 2.3

INTERPRETATION : As 2 values are greater than the normal we consider as an EXUDATIVE EFFUSION.
(confirmation after pleural fluid c/s analysis)

PROVISIONAL DIAGNOSIS:

Bilateral  PLEURAL EFFUSION left side more than right sided
With right sided consolidation etiology most likely to be TB
