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

Pleural tuberculosis: an update
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2010Pleural tuberculosis accounts for fewer than 1% of all exudative effusions in western countries, occurring in only 3-5% of tuberculous patients. However, in developing countries like India, it is responsible for 30-80% of all pleural effusions encountered and may complicate tuberculosis in 31% of all cases.

Pleural Tuberculosis in Children
Paediatric Respiratory Reviews, 2011Pleural tuberculosis effusion (PTE) in children is a diagnosis which must be considered in isolated pleural effusions in non-toxemic children. It is more common in children over 5 years of age. A history of close contact with an adult with pulmonary tuberculosis reinforces the suspicion for its diagnosis. Pleural effusion without any parenchymal lesion

Background The imaging features of pleural tuberculosis (PTB) can be similar to those of malignant pleural dissemination (MPD) with several case reports of CT findings in atypical presentations of PTB. Purpose To describe the computed tomography (CT) features of PTB by comparing these imaging findings with those of MPD and to use the results to ...

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 effusions in a patient with tuberculosis on dialysis [PDF]
The Lancet, 2013 A 63-year-old Ghanaian woman developed dyspnoea in the renal unit in June, 2012. She was on haemodialysis for hypertensive nephropathy (started Feb, 2011). Miliary tuber culosis had been diag nosed in May, 2012, by induced sputum, yielding a fully sensitive culture-positive organism (initially smear nega tive).

Challenges in pleural tuberculosis diagnosis: existing reference standards and nucleic acid tests.
Future Microbiology, 2017Pleural tuberculosis (pTB) is a grave form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Microbiological tests are usually found to be inadequate for pTB diagnosis. The absence of a uniform 'composite reference standard' is challenging; therefore, diagnosis is usually

Atypical pleural tuberculosis presenting as an isolated pleural tuberculoma
Acta Radiologica, 2012Pleural tuberculosis is the most common extrapulmonary manifestation of tuberculosis, and is generally characterized by an effusion. The effusion is usually unilateral and residual pleural thickening or calcification is also observed in some cases. Manifestations of multiple pleural tuberculomas without associated effusion and history of tuberculosis ...
