Telomerase activity in 16 pleural effusions was studied using an in situ telomerase repeat amplification protocol (TRAP) assay on cytospin preparations. Six of nine cytologically malignant specimens contained telomerase-positive cells (67%), and in two further specimens, suspicious positive cells we
The diagnostic usefulness of ferritin measurements in pleural and peritoneal effusions has been evaluated in 57 patients. Mean (& standard error [SE]) ferritin levels were 291 f 50 ng/ml in 24 patients with noninflammatory transudates (Group I), 942 \* 253 in 15 patients with nonmalignant exudates (
