Epidemiological, clinical and outcomes of pleural tuberculosis: insights from a 646-patient cohort in the province of Khémisset, Morocco
pleural tuberculosis accounts for 1 in 5 tuberculosis cases locally. Our study reveals that, despite high treatment success rates, a significant proportion of patients with pleural tuberculosis fail treatment, particularly those with mixed symptoms, especially if they have a combination of other forms of tuberculosis, which increases the risk of failure.
