title: [Clinico-diagnostic usefulness of the determination of beta 2 microglobulin in pleural fluids. Preliminary results].
abstract: The authors evaluated by RIA the concentration of beta-2-microglobulin in pleural fluids of different origin (neoplastic, tuberculous, and others). They conclude that beta-2-microglobulin is not useful to make an etiological diagnosis.
