We have a pneumothorax patient to whom pipe has been inserted to take out the air bubbles but from last 9 days air bubbles are still there in the pipe and now the fluid is there in the lungs may be because of infection and the colour of the fluid is yellow. Dr has sent for various investigations which includes gene expert and cytology as well. Kindly suggest at the earliest
