Abstract:
Tuberculous pleurisy (TP) is a common disease, especially in areas with high prevalence of tuberculosis. However, because of the lack of bacterial characteristics in pleural effusion, the detection sensitivity of traditional smear and culture method is low, and the pleural biopsy has certain risks; therefore, the diagnosis of tuberculous pleurisy is challenging. Due to the limitations of traditional detection methods, to find a fast, accurate and effective method for TP diagnosis is important. This article reviews the progress of molecular, biochemical and immunological methods for diagnosis of TP.
