Abstract
Minocycline pleurodesis was performed on five infants with congenital chylothorax in our institutions. They could not achieve sufficient efficacy though they had received other conservative therapies. Four of the five cases obtained reduction of pleural effusion using the minocycline pleurodesis. We concluded that minocycline pleurodesis is a safe and an effective technique for congenital chylothorax.
