However, there is considerable inconsistency among previous study results. In addition, these data should be updated due to early effusion studies and advances in culture methods.enGROWTH INDICATOR TUBE; CLINICAL SPECIMENS; LOWENSTEIN-JENSEN; EFFUSION; RECOVERY; SYSTEM; MEDIA[SDGs]SDG3Revisiting tuberculous pleurisy: pleural fluid characteristics and diagnostic yield of mycobacterial culture in an endemic areajournal article10.1136/thoraxjnl-2011-201363224361672-s2.0-84865290442WOS:000308072300013https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/84865290442
