We report a rare case of tuberculous pleurisy with a rapid decrease in pleural effusion by levofloxacin. A 73-year-old woman admitted due to
dyspnea on exertion
of one month duration. She had aortitis syndrome which had been treated with oral prednisolone for 6 months. Chest roentgenogram showed left pleural effusion, which was exudative with lymphocyte predominance and an increased level of
adenosine deaminase
. One-week administration of levofloxacin remarkably decreased effusion. as demonstrated on chest roentgenogram 2 weeks after treatment. Since Mycobacterium tuberculosis was isolated in culture from bronchial lavage fluid and sputum, we prescribed antituberculous therapy with isoniazid, rifampicin and ethambutol. resulting in complete resolution.

A 68-year-old woman, suffering from
dyspnea on exertion
, was admitted to our hospital. She had noticed her nails become yellow 8 years previously. She had mild bilateral effusion. Examination of the pleural fluid revealed exudates which were lymphocyte-rich, a high concentration of
adenosine deaminase
(
ADA
) and elevated serum levels of soluble interleukin-2 receptors. These confirmed the diagnosis of yellow nail syndrome.
