Hello there. I can understand your concern. Ok. So what's your question regarding this. Pleural effusion happened, it's diagnosed that it's due to tuberculosis. I'm sure he would have suggested further line of treatment also. What do you want to know by posting a question here. Because you haven't mentioned what's exactly your question.
