I am male, 68, from Mumbai. 2x1100 cc of Pleural effusion was aspirated. After all cytological and pet scan etc. Dr. diagnosed as pulmonary tuberculosis. ADA 106 and lymphocytes 97% .All other tests are normal. But, I don't have any exterior symptoms of TB. TB medicine started. Pleural fluid shows no malignant cells. Currently, hiccups, burping sound, acid reflux makes me uncomfortable. Is there any test to rule out TB?
