10 Which of the following is MOST correct regarding Pleural TB? A. Pleural TB is a form of extra-pulmonary TB and hence, this patient is non-infectious B. Pleural fluid PCR is the most sensitive test for diagnosing pleural TB C. A negative TST rules out pleural TB D. Pleural biopsy should be performed, sending to both micro and pathology

11 Diagnosis of Pleural TB Diagnostic Approach Sensitivity Pleural fluid culture 10-40% Pleural biopsy culture 55-85% Pleural biopsy histology 50-80% Combined pleural biopsy culture and histology 80-95% Other tests: PCR Pleural fluid -Sensitivity 62%, specificity 98% -More sensitive in cases of culture-positive pleural fluid Pleural biopsy sensitivity 90%, specificity 100% Adenosine deaminase (ADA) Sensitivity 92%, specificity 90% Respir Med 2008;102: BMC Infect Dis 2004;4:6 Chest 2003;124:

15 Which of the following is the BEST approach? A. Remove from airborne isolation as a negative PCR test rules out infectious TB B. Begin 4 drug therapy and remove patient from airborne isolation due to multiple negative AFB smears C. Begin 4 drug therapy and keep in airborne isolation D. Obtain interferon-gamma releasing assay (IGRA) as a negative result would rule out TB

25 What is the role of Interferon-Gamma Release Assays (IGRAs) in diagnosing active TB? A. IGRAs are preferred to TST for the diagnosis of active TB due to increased sensitivity and specificity. B. A negative IGRA rules out activetb. C. A positive IGRA obviates the need for tissue biopsy. D. IGRAs may be useful adjunctive tests, but are not sufficient alone to diagnose active TB.
