In how much time tuberculosis pleural effusion of approx 550ml will get drain naturally?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pleural effusion: This problem depends on many things. Age, health of the patient, and treatment of the TB are some of the main considerations. Sometimes the effusions may resolve after a few months, depending on response of the infection to the TB drugs, some which are more difficult to treat. If the effusions do not improve, sometimes they must be drained surgically
