Abstract
A 6-year-old boy was referred with complaints of chest pain for 2 months with low-grade fever. A computerized tomography of the chest revealed a loculated pleural effusion on the left side. Medical thoracoscopy was performed that revealed a characteristic sago-grain follicle over the parietal pleural. Histopathology and microbiological investigations on pleural biopsy samples confirmed tubercular pleural effusion.
期刊介绍：
Pediatric Pulmonology (PPUL) is the foremost global journal studying the respiratory system in disease and in health as it develops from intrauterine life though adolescence to adulthood. Combining explicit and informative analysis of clinical as well as basic scientific research, PPUL provides a look at the many facets of respiratory system disorders in infants and children, ranging from pathological anatomy, developmental issues, and pathophysiology to infectious disease, asthma, cystic fibrosis, and airborne toxins. Focused attention is given to the reporting of diagnostic and therapeutic methods for neonates, preschool children, and adolescents, the enduring effects of childhood respiratory diseases, and newly described infectious diseases.
PPUL concentrates on subject matters of crucial interest to specialists preparing for the Pediatric Subspecialty Examinations in the United States and other countries. With its attentive coverage and extensive clinical data, this journal is a principle source for pediatricians in practice and in training and a must have for all pediatric pulmonologists.
