Abstract
An epidemic amongst recruits who presented with acute viral exudative pleural effusion with lymphocytic pleocytosis is analysed. Histologic and bacteriologic proof of tuberculosis was lacking in majority. Most of them recovered without pleural thickening. Overcrowding, inadequate clothing protection, stress and strain of vigorous recruit training could be important precipitating factors. None reported with parenchymal tuberculosis in two year follow up.Entities:
