Results The age of the patients was 16-77 (40±15)years, and the gender ratio was 35:26 (female: male). The main clinical manifestations were bilateral lower limb edema in 51 cases, ascites in 41 cases, bilateral pleural effusion in 23 cases, pericardial effusion in 13cases, abdominal pain in 16 cases and diarrhea in 33 cases. The prominent abnormality in laboratory examinations was hypoalbuminemia. The underlying diseases include systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in 28 cases, intestinal lymphangiectasia in 12 cases, hepatic cirrhosis in 5 cases, heart diseases in 5 cases,Crohn's disease in 3 cases, membranous nephropathy in 2 cases, Budd-Chiari syndrome in 1 case. Four cases happened after abdominal operation and 1 case after radiation therapy of gastric cardia cancer. Thirtyseven cases were diagnosed by 99Tcm-labelled human serum albumin scintigraphy and 24 cases were diagnosed clinically. Treatment was focused on underlying diseases. The clinical manifestations in 21 cases of SLE improved after SLE was controlled. In 2 cases of intestinal lymphangiectasia and one with Crohn's disease, the clinical manifestations improved after surgery. The other patients had no improvement.Conclusions PLE was not uncommon in clinical practice. Its predominant characteristics were severe hypoalbuminemia, edema and dropsy of serous cavity. PLE can complicate other diseases such as SLE,intestinal lymphangiectasia. Treatment should be focused on primary disease. 相似文献

AIM:To present our experience with tuberculous peritonitis treated in our hospital from 2002-2007. METHODS: We reviewed the medical records of 9 children with tuberculous peritonitis. RESULTS: Nine patients (5 boys, 4 girls) of mean age 14.2 years were diagnosed with peritoneal tuberculosis. All patients presented with abdominal distention. Abdominal pain was seen in 55.5% and fever in 44.4% of the patients. Four cases had coexisting pleural effusion and two had pulmonary tuberculosis with parenchymal consolidation. Ultrasonography found ascites with septation in 7 patients. Two patients had only ascites without septation. Ascitic fluid analysis of 8 patients yielded serum-ascite albumin gradients of less than 1.1 gr/dL. Laparoscopy and laparotomy showed that whitish tuberculi were the most common appearance. Adhesions were also seen in three cases. The diagnosis of peritoneal tuberculosis was confirmed histo-pathologically in 7 patients and microbiologically in two. Two patients had been diagnosed by ascitic fluid diagnostic features and a positive response to antituberculous treatment. All patients completed the antituberculous therapy without any complications. CONCLUSION: Tuberculous peritonitis has to be clinically suspected in all patients with slowly progressive abdominal distension, particularly when it is accompanied by fever and pain. Laparoscopy and peritoneal biopsy are still the most reliable, quick and safe methods for the diagnosis of tuberculous peritonitis. 相似文献

目的 总结北京协和医院普通内科2004-2008年收治住院患者的构成特点,初步探讨普通内科在大型综合医院设置的必要性.方法 回顾性分析2004-2008年北京协和医院普通内科住院患者的资料(患者来源、入院诊断、出院诊断等).结果 期间普通内科住院患者共2593例,其中男1075例,女1518例,平均年龄45.1岁.入院时诊断不清者占64.9%(1683/2593),其中不明原因发热(FUO)758例,非FUO待查病例925例.FUO最终明确诊断率89.2%(676/758),疾病前3位是肌肉骨骼系统和结缔组织疾病226例(29.8%)、传染病和寄生虫病199例(26.3%)、肿瘤110例(14.5%).非FUO的待查病例最终明确诊断率86.8%(803/925),疾病前3位为肌肉骨骼系统和结缔组织疾病230例(24.9%)、肿瘤143例(15.5%)、血液及造血系统疾病105例(11.4%).出院诊断共涉及550个病种.结论 北京协和医院普通内科住院患者具有来源广、疾病种类多、诊断不清比例高等特点.普通内科既解决了诊断不清等患者的收治问题,又为年轻医(学)生提供了良好的医学教育平台,体现了大型综合医院设置普通内科的必要性.Abstract: Objective To analyze the disease spectrum of patients admitted to the General Internal Medicine Unit at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, which is the first academic division of general internal medicine in the department of medicine within Chinese medical colleges and universities, and the value of general internal medicine unit in comprehensive hospitals. Methods A retrospective data review of patients admitted to the General Internal Medicine Unit from 2004 to 2008 was conducted from hospital information system and partially by chart review manually. Analysis of disease spectrum was performed thereafter. Results A total of 2593 patients were included in our study. It consisted of 1075 men and 1518women, with an average age of 45.1 years old. Forty point three percent of these patients were from Beijing,the local city, and the remaining 59.7% were from outside of Beijing. Sixty-four point nine percent (1683/2593)of these patients did not have a clear diagnosis on admission, including 758 fever of unknown origin (FUO) cases and 925 non-FUO cases. The final diagnostic rate of the FUO cases was 89. 2% [676/758, with the first three leading causes as diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (29. 8%), certain infectious and parasitic diseases(26.3%), and neoplasm (14. 5%)] . The final diagnostic rate of the 928 non-FUO cases was 86. 8%(803/925), with the first three leading causes as musculoskeletal system and connective tissue(24.9%), neoplasm (15.5%), and diseases of blood and blood-forming organs(11.4%). Despite most diagnoses fitting into the above categories, the array of diseases was broad with as many as 550 discharge diagnoses from 2004 to 2008. Conclusions During 2004 -2008, there was a high proportion of cases that presented to the General Internal Medicine Unit at Peking Union Medical College Hospital with an unclear diagnosis, and the spectrum of diseases diagnosed was very broad. This kind of patient admitting model might not only benefit patients with no clear admission diagnosis and patients with multidisciplinary medical problems for whom it is usually difficult to be admitted by a specialty unit, but would also benefit medical students and residents by providing a good clinical medicine teaching base. These features show the value of general internal unit in comprehensive hospitals. 相似文献

Pleural effusions: is thoracoscopy a reliable investigation? A retrospective review. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In this paper, we consider the results of thoracoscopy in a busy thoracic unit where the referring physicians place their greatest emphasis upon simple standard investigation of pleural disease. Between 1985 and 1989 620 patients with a pleural effusion of unknown aetiology were referred to our thoracic medical unit. Initial investigations included aspiration of pleural fluid for cytology and culture, and blind pleural biopsy for histological examination. Recourse to thoracoscopy was only taken in the absence of a diagnosis or non-resolution of the patients symptoms and signs. Of these 620 patients only 48 (8%) remained without a diagnosis and were referred for thoracoscopy. Histological assessment of biopsies obtained at thoracoscopy revealed malignancy in 24 patients (50%) and benign conditions in 16 patients (33%). In eight patients (17%) no conclusive diagnosis was established; in this latter group, six patients continued with their symptoms and further invasive investigations revealed malignancy. In this setting where thoracoscopy was used as a last resort, the sensitivity for thoracoscopy was 83% and the specificity was 100% with a predictive value of a negative result being 25%. In conclusion, from our experience, the majority of pleural disease may be diagnosed using simple techniques but thoracoscopy can be very helpful in the more complex cases. Moreover, inconclusive histology following thoracoscopy is an indication for further investigation if the condition does not improve. 相似文献

Abstract Approximately 20% of pleural effusions remain without an established aetiology after evaluation. Thoracoscopy has a very high sensitivity for the diagnosis of both benign and malignant diseases and greatly increases the diagnostic yield for pleural effusion. We sought to evaluate the diagnostic yield and safety of medical thoracoscopy at this institution. The records of all patients undergoing medical thoracoscopy for the evaluation of undiagnosed pleural effusion between 1990 and 1996 were reviewed. The procedure was performed under local anaesthesia with sedation using a Stortz rigid thoracoscope. Fifty-eight patients had thoracoscopy, most having had two (range: 1–6) non-diagnostic pleural aspirations and biopsies of the pleura. Nineteen patients were found to have mesothelioma and nine metastatic malignancy. Three patients were considered likely to have tuberculous pleural disease, six had asbestos related benign pleural fibrosis and three post-cardiotomy syndrome. There was one chylous effusion of uncertain aetiology, one post-traumatic and two other benign effusions, both of which resolved without clear aetiology. On seven occasions the pleural space could not be adequately accessed, but none of these patients had prior computerized tomography (CT) or ultrasound of the pleural space. There were five false negative diagnoses of malignancy, but no false positives. The diagnostic sensitivity for pleural malignancy was 85% and specificity 100%. There were no major complications, but four patients had late tumour seeding at the thoracoscopy site. Medical thoracoscopy is a safe procedure with a high diagnostic yield. Pre-operative evaluation of the pleural collection using ultrasound or CT increases the likelihood of successful access to the pleural space and may increase diagnostic yield. 相似文献

Endoscopic approach to pulmonary diseases: Clinical utility of medical thoracoscopy in diagnosis of pleural diseases 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Thoracoscopy is useful for diagnosis of a number of lung diseases. We report our recent experience of medical thoracoscopy performed under local anesthesia in 142 cases. Of 124 patients with pleural effusion, 46 had pleuritis carcinomatosa, 11 had pleuritis tuberculosa, and 10 had malignant mesothelioma. We evaluated the utility of thoracoscopic observation and pleural biopsy in these three diseases. Almost of patients with malignant pleural effusion initially undiagnosed by the cytology of pleural effusion were diagnosed by thoracoscopy. Especially in malignant mesothelioma, thoracoscopy allowed accurate diagnosis. No serious complication was observed. Since medical thoracoscopy under local anesthesia is a rapid, easy, safe, and well-tolerated procedure with an excellent diagnostic yield, it is recommended as a diagnostic procedure for cases with pleural effusion. 相似文献
