Overview
Leucocytosis as well as increased levels of pleural adenosine deaminase and pleural lactate dehydrogenase (usually above 1000) may provide additional diagnostic feature for empyema.[1]
References
Other diagnostic studies
Other diagnostic studies of empyema include increased levels of neutrophils, pleural adenosine deaminase and pleural lactate dehydrogenase (usually above 1000).[1]
