摘要：
Detection of Acid Fast Bacilli in extra-pulmonary tuberculosis is rare. Diagnosis of tubercular pleural effusion is based on pleural fluid analysis: protein levels (high), LDH (high), cell type (predominant lymphocytes) and rarely AFB in Ziehl-Neelsen stain. Here we report a case of pleural effusion with plenty of Acid Fast Bacilli on Ziehl-Neelsen stain.
