Pulmonary Changes of Pleural TB

CONCLUSIONS:Pulmonary abnormalities are very common in pleural TB. The most common CT scan findings were micronodules in the subpleural and peribronchovascular interstitium and interlobular septal thickening, suggesting the lymphatic spread of TB. In addition, PR is not rare in patients with pleural TB, especially in young, previously healthy, male patients who show subpleural nodules on initial CT scans.
