BACKGROUND-Pleural effusion is defined as collection of fluid between the two pleural covering. OBJECTIVE-To evaluate the different etiologies of pleural effusion according to laboratory report. METHODOLOGY-Data was collected in a nonprobability convenience technique with descriptive cross- sectional study in indoor patient of pulmonary medicine department of Balangir Bhima Bhoi medical college from 2017 nov to 2020 nov,202 patients included in this technique.Diagnosis was confirmed by chest -x-Ray, and USG Chest in some cases, .Pleural fluid is aspirated from all and analysed with necessary investigation carried out ,like pleural fluid cytology, Biochemical and culture .computed tomography ,echocardiography and connective tissue profile for evaluating the underlying cause of pleural effusion. RESULT- Out of 202 patients 145 (73%) were male and 57(26)% were female Mean age was 44.8years with 19,832 SD .Among patients of pleural effusion most common cause was tuberculosis (65.3%). followed by Para pneumonic effusion/empyema (11.4%), malignancy both metastatic and primary accounted for (15%), heart failure also showed its presence in 5% of cases. Connective tissue disorder was found to be the cause in only one case (0.5%). In one case (0.5%) pleural effusion remained undiagnosed.
