Pleural Fluid Soluble Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells-1 in Complicated and Uncomplicated Parapneumonic Pleural Effusions

<table>Comparison between serum and pleural fluid levels of sTREM-1 in transudative pleural effusion (TE) group and parapneumonic pleural effusion (PPE) group. There was no significant difference between serum and pleural fluid sTREM-1 in TE group, whereas pleural fluid levels of sTREM-1 were significantly higher than serum levels of sTREM-1 in PPE group.</table>
