T Helper Cell Subsets in the Pleural Fluid of Tuberculous Patients Differentiate Patients With Non-Tuberculous Pleural Effusions
BackgroundTuberculous pleural effusion (TPE) is one of the most common forms of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (Tb). Patients with TPE or malignant pleural effusions (MPE) frequently have a similar lymphocytic pleural fluid profile. Since the etiology of PE in various diseases is different, identifying...

The frequency of CD4+IL-9+ cells was significantly lower in TPE patients [3.67 (0.87–47.83)] compared with non-TPE groups [13.05 (1.67–61.45), p < 0.0001].
