“…However, in clinical practice this identification is problematic because of the low identification rate of the bacillus (less than 30% in pleural fluid and approximately 50% in the pleura) and the slow growth of mycobacterium in culture (about 60 days) 4 . Therefore, in regions with a high prevalence of tuberculosis, pleural biopsy demonstrating a granulomatous inflammatory process is used for diagnosis since other granulomatous diseases such as sarcoidosis, mycosis and rheumatoid arthritis account for less than 10% of granulomatous findings in the pleura 5 . On the other hand, the diagnosis of neoplastic pleural effusion is made based on the presence of malignant cells in the pleural fluid or tissue.…”

“…Many factors play a role in the etiology of pleural effusion. It has been identified that nearly 1/30 of tuberculosis causes pleural effusion and 3% of pleural effusion is caused by tuberculosis [3,4]. In Turkey, it has been reported that 9% of pleural effusion is caused by tuberculosis, and 5-50 % of tuberculosis results in pleural effusion [5,6].…”

“…Entretanto, a história clínica, a análi-se de imagem e a evolução clínica permitem que estes casos sejam mais facilmente discriminados. (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18) Com base nestas constatações, recomenda-se a pesquisa rotineira da ADA para o diagnóstico da tuberculose pleural.…”
