LE (lupus erythematosus) Cell in Pleural fluid Cytology
During the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease) pandemic, a middle-aged woman was brought to the emergency department after experiencing sudden difficulty breathing after a two-week history of fever and cough. A contrast-enhanced computerised tomography (CECT) scan revealed minimal pericardial and pleural effusions on the left side. A pleural effusion was tapped using ultrasound guidance and sent to the cytopathology laboratory. A cytological examination revealed numerous lupus erythematosus (LE) cells, resulting in a diagnosis of lupus pleuritis. J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2023; 41(4): 348-349
