Association of Light’s Criteria with Pleural Fluid Procalcitonin Levels and Ultrasound Thorax with its Impact on the Management of Pleural Effusion: A Cross-sectional Study

Association of Light’s Criteria with Pleural Fluid Procalcitonin Levels and Ultrasound Thorax with its Impact on the Management of Pleural Effusion: A Cross-sectional Study

Introduction: Pleural effusion, the abnormal accumulation of fluid in the pleural space, affects around 1.5 million people every year.
