She had also experienced weight loss, minimal dry cough and right-sided pleuritic chest pain for several weeks. A chest radiograph showed a right lower zone pleural effusion with no apparent lung consolidation. Lung ultrasound showed a right apical consolidation and right lower zone septated pleural effusion. Pleural fluid investigations showed exudative features of mixed lymphocytic, mesothelial and neutrophilic cellular components. Tuberculin skin test was strongly positive. She was subsequently treated for pleural tuberculosis. One month after treatment, her symptoms had improved considerably.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Lung ultrasound has been found to be more effective than chest radiograph in detecting consolidation and diagnosing pneumonia. The portability and efficacy of today\u2019s ultrasound machines, including the handheld types, show that lung ultrasound is a practical, reliable and valuable diagnostic tool in managing pulmonary conditions including tuberculosis, provided that the operators are adequately trained.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Lung ultrasound in tuberculosis is the next frontier for clinicians and researchers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/1742271x20959761","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,27]],"date-time":"2020-09-27T08:10:30Z","timestamp":1601194230000},"page":"123-127","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Hiding in plain sight: Diagnosing pleural tuberculosis using lung ultrasound"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"29","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9976-1509","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wan Aireene Wan","family":"Ahmed","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medical Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kelantan, Malaysia"},{"name":"Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kelantan, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1721-6329","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohd Jazman Che","family":"Rahim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medical Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kelantan, Malaysia"},{"name":"Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kelantan, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nurashikin","family":"Mohammad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medical Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kelantan, Malaysia"},{"name":"Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kelantan, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohd Hashairi","family":"Fauzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medical Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kelantan, Malaysia"},{"name":"Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kelantan, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shaik Farid Abdull","family":"Wahab","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medical Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kelantan, Malaysia"},{"name":"Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kelantan, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1742271X20959761","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph15102235"},{"key":"bibr2-1742271X20959761","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2018-027179"},{"key":"bibr3-1742271X20959761","first-page":"981","volume":"7","author":"Vorster MJ","year":"2015","journal-title":"J Thorac Dis"},{"key":"bibr4-1742271X20959761","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12879-019-4312-9"},{"key":"bibr5-1742271X20959761","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1183\/16000617.0047-2016"},{"key":"bibr6-1742271X20959761","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejcdt.2013.05.010"},{"key":"bibr7-1742271X20959761","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejim.2019.06.002"},{"key":"bibr8-1742271X20959761","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/0971-3026.161431"},{"key":"bibr9-1742271X20959761","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.21037\/jtd.2016.05.87"},{"key":"bibr10-1742271X20959761","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s40560-016-0180-1"}],"container-title":["Ultrasound"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/1742271X20959761","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/1742271X20959761","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/1742271X20959761","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,2]],"date-time":"2026-05-02T07:50:08Z","timestamp":1777708208000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/1742271X20959761"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,27]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2021,5]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/1742271X20959761"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/1742271x20959761","relation":{},"ISSN":["1742-271X","1743-1344"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1742-271X","type":"print"},{"value":"1743-1344","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,27]]}}}
