Article Synopsis
- Tuberculous pleural effusion (TPE) is a challenging diagnosis due to its paucibacillary nature, often requiring a combination of clinical evaluation and imaging to confirm.
- A 25-year-old male exhibited symptoms like cough, fever, and weight loss, and although he was initially misdiagnosed with azathioprine-induced lung injury, further testing indicated TPE.
- Effective treatment with anti-tubercular therapy led to a complete recovery, highlighting the need for vigilance in diagnosing TPE, especially in immunocompromised patients in tuberculosis-endemic areas.
