Résumé
Introduction
Pleural effusion remains diagnostically challenging when standard thoracentesis does not establish an aetiology. This pilot analysis described sequential biomarker measurements in patients proceeding to medical thoracoscopy and explored their associations and discrimination across final diagnostic classifications.
