Methods: A retrospective analysis was made of 8 patients who underwent surgery for emergency tracheal pathologies in our clinics between 2013 and November 2018.
Objective: To investigate the diagnostic significance of biochemical markers and pentraxin-3 in the differential diagnosis of pleural effusions.
