Background: Maintenance immunosuppression is required for suppression of alloimmunity or allograft rejection. However, continuous use of immunosuppressants may lead to various side effects, necessitating the use of alternative immunosuppressive drugs. The early secreted antigenic target of 6 kDa (ESAT-6) is a virulence factor and immunoregulatory protein of mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), which alters host immunity through dually regulating development or activation of various immune cells.

Pancreatic cancer is a common cancer with a very poor prognosis and aggressive course. The main reason for the highly unfavorable prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer is its long-term asymptomatic development, which results in the diagnosis being made at a stage when the cancer process is significantly advanced. Despite extensive research in the field of effective diagnosis and treatment of this cancer, patient survival rates are increasing slowly and insignificantly.

Department of Gastroenterology, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, Jiangxi, China.
Rationale: Pancreaticopleural fistula (PPF) is an infrequent etiology of pleural effusion, characterized by nonspecific thoracic symptoms, which often leads to misdiagnosis and subsequent severe complications. Consequently, early diagnosis is crucial for effective management and the prevention of adverse outcomes. This report presents a rare case of PPF causing bilateral pleural effusions, aiming to enhance clinical recognition of this condition.

Hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) tuberculosis (TB) is a rare form of extra-pulmonary TB that poses a diagnostic dilemma and is a great masquerader of malignancy. It is almost always curable but requires a high degree of suspicion and corroboratory evidence to document its existence. Medline/PubMed was searched with keywords "hepatic", "liver", "biliary" and "pancreatic" with "tuberculosis".
