Objective To retrospectively analyze the epidemiological characteristics of 196 cases of tuberculous pleurisy patients, and regulate the rate of relapse after treatment. In 196 cases of tuberculous pleurisy patients methods from 2009 January ~2013 year in June were summarized from the patients, age, gender, origin, parts of the incidence, clinical analysis of curative effect of patients with recurrence and follow-up records. 2 test was used in statistical analysis. Results patients source: rural and floating population accounted for (152/196), the urban population accounted for (44/196). The male , female (146/196) (50/196), the difference was statistically significant (2=, P<). There were statistically significant differences in male patients in rural areas and the floating population and urban population (2=, P<). Age of onset: under 20 years old (14/196), 21~40 (62/196 41~60) at the age of , at the age of (56/196), 61~80 (54/196) at the age of , aged 80 years and above (4/196). Seep sites: unilateral pleural effusion accounted for (178/196), bilateral pleural effusion accounted for (18/196). Liver function damage: damage of liver in the process of drug treatment the incidence of (39/196). The follow-up results: Taking the completion rate of 100%, the standard treatment after 1 years are in stable condition, 1 cases lost follow-up. All patients were followed up for 420 years of patients with a mean follow-up of years, the patient / person, recurrence rate was (2/195). Pleural thickening in patients with (160/196). Conclusion tuberculous exudative pleurisy unilateral see more, to rural areas and the floating population. The majority of youth. After 2 years recurrence rate standard treatment is low, easy to form the pleural thickening.
