pleural effusion
Mycobacteriology and Aerobic ActinomycetesPredominance of Th1 Immune Response in Pleural Effusion of Patients with Tuberculosis among Other Exudative EtiologiesPleural tuberculosis (PlTB), a common form of extrapulmonary TB, remains a challenge in the diagnosis among many causes of pleural effusion. We recently reported that the combinatorial analysis of interferon gamma (IFN-γ), IFN-γ-inducible protein 10 (IP-10), and adenosine deaminase (ADA) from the pleural microenvironment was useful to distinguish pleural effusion caused by TB (microbiologically confirmed or not) among other etiologies...
