Tuberculous pleural effusions occur in up to 30% of patients with tuberculosis. It appears that the percentage of patients with pleural effusion is comparable in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive and HIV-negative individuals, although there is some evidence that HIV-positive patients with CD4+ counts <200 cells x mL(-1) are less likely to ...

Pleural Pustule—a Novel Thoracoscopic Appearance of Pleural Tuberculosis
Journal of Bronchology & Interventional Pulmonology, 2022Background: Thoracoscopic pleural biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing tubercular pleural effusion (TPE). Various thoracoscopic appearances like sago grain nodules, caseous necrosis, and adhesions have been described in TPE. However, none of these have high specificity for diagnosing TPE. In this study we evaluate a novel
