The aim of this study was to understand the characteristic of pleural effusion. Methods: This study was an observational descriptive. A total 119 patients with pleural effusion were evaluated. Pleural puncture was done and simultaneously pleural fluid and serum analysis were measured. Patients were observed until diagnosing of pleura effusion was established. Exudates was defined as pleural effusion caused by diseased primary in thoracic cavity, where as transudates was defined as pleural effusion due to systemic disease. Results: Of 104 patients with exudative pleural effusion, 15 patients with transudative pleural effusion. Pleural effusion was commonly caused by malignancy (42.8%) and followed by tuberculosis (42%). The characteristic of exudative effusion was unilateral, right hemithorax and massive. The characteristic of transudative effusion was bilateral, right hemithorax and nonmassive effusion. Conclusion: Pleural fluid LDH and protein, and ratio of pleural fluid protein and serum were higher in tuberculosis pleural effusion than malignant pleural effusion although significantly not significant.
