Shivani Gandhi, Arvind Khajuria
Abstract :
BACKGROUND: The evaluation and analysis of body fluids form an important diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic aspect of various
pathological processes.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: The present study included 250 cases of body fluids and smears were stained with Giemsa and Papanicolaou
(PAP) stains. Improved Neubauer counting chamber was used for cell counting.
RESULTS: Out of total 250 cases, 114 were pleural fluid, 84 were peritoneal fluid, 32 were of cereospinal fluid and 20 were of synovial fluid. The
age varied from 7–90 years with Male to female ratio of 1.9:1. 139 cases were of exudates and 111 were transudates. 226 cases were benign, 14 cases
were malignant whereas 10 cases were suspicious of malignancy.
CONCLUSION: Cytological evaluation of body fluids is a relatively simple, safe, rapid, minimal invasive and inexpensive procedure that helps in
rapid diagnosis and therefore early management of the patient.
