We read with great interest the article by Gao and his colleagues proposing a new schema and hypothesis regarding pleural fluid turnover. In the proposed hypothesis, the visceral pleura possesses a more active role in humans than what was believed. The authors support the notion that in humans the pulmonary lymphatic vessels originate directly from the mesothelium of the visceral pleura and that it has an effect on both infiltration and reabsorption of pleural fluid in human beings.展开更多
