Abstract

A man in his late thirties presented with left-sided chest pain, recurrent fever and cough. Radiographical study revealed left pleural effusion which on ultrasonic imaging was minimal and non-tappable. Image guided trucut pleural biopsy yielded pleural specimens which helped in confirming the diagnosis of tuberculosis. 2014 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.
