Abstract:

The diagnosis of tuberculous pleurisy is difficult due to the low positive rate of etiology in pleural effusion and atypical clinical symptoms. The new health industry standards criteria(WS 288-2017) issued for tuberculous pleurisy will be helpful to diagnose systematically in practice. This paper focused on interpretation of tuberculous pleurisy from the new national standards for readers to understand it better.
