  • Title: Chylothorax due to Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
    Author: Antón PA, Rubio J, Casán P, Franquet T.
    Journal: Thorax; 1995 Sep; 50(9):1019. PubMed ID: 8539665.
    Abstract:
    Chylothorax in an adult is a rare cause of pleural effusion. Mycobacterium tuberculosis may cause chylous effusion, but usually in association with extensive intrapulmonary involvement. A case of chylothorax is presented in which M tuberculosis was isolated from the pleural fluid and was the only intrathoracic manifestation of tuberculosis.
