The role of interferon gamma release assays (IGRAs), although established for identifying latent tuberculosis, is still evolving in the diagnosis of active extrapulmonary tuberculosis. We systematically evaluated the diagnostic performance of blood- and pleural fluid-based IGRAs in tuberculous pleur

BACKGROUND: The numbers of IL-27-producing CD4(+) T cells and the concentration of soluble IL-27 have been found to be increased in tuberculous pleural effusion (TPE). The objective of the present study was to explore the mechanism by which IL-27(+)CD4(+) T cells are recruited into the pleural space
