Improved early diagnosis of difficult cases of tuberculous pleural effusion by combination of thoracoscopy with immunological tests
2019, International Journal of Infectious DiseasesCitation Excerpt :Although the global TB mortality rate showed a decline of 3% per year and the TB incidence decreased about 2% per year in 2016 compared to 2015, TB remains one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide (GBD Tuberculosis Collaborators, 2018). Tuberculous pleural effusion, also known as tuberculous pleurisy (TP), is a common manifestation of extrapulmonary TB, which accounts for about 3–25% of all TB cases (Light, 2010; Kataria and Khurshid, 2001). The early diagnosis of TP is crucial for initiating timely effective treatment and promoting favorable outcomes.
Diagnostic approaches in patients with tuberculous pleural effusion
2007, Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious DiseaseCitation Excerpt :These include estimations of adenosine deaminase (ADA) and interferon γ (IFN-γ). High levels of ADA also have been reported in noninfectious conditions associated with pleural fluid lymphocytosis, including malignant conditions (Laborín, 2005; Kataria and Khurshid, 2001). IFN-γ has a diagnostic potential in distinguishing tuberculous from malignant pleural effusion.
