Wbc 7400 µl and rbc 4000 µl. This condition can be caused by the presence of bacterial viral or fungal. They secrete a fluid that lubricates the lungs and allows them to glide over the pleura during breathing. Note the large size and cytoplasmic basophilia of these cells in compari.

Epithelial or lining cells most commonly mesothelial cells 1 the appearance and presentation of nucleated cells found in pleural fluid and whether they are considered common benign or abnormal is discussed below. The arrowed cells all represent atypical lymphocytes.
