Pediatric pleural tuberculosis

International Journal of Mycobacteriology, 2018
Pleural tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis is sometimes controversial because the microbiologic confirmation ratio is very low in pleural fluid. There are few pediatric pleural TB case series in the literature.We retrospectively evaluated our TB cases below 18 years of age and extracted pleural TB cases.Seven cases with pleural TB were identified. About 42.9%
