Patients with tuberculous pleural effusions may be infected if they are exposed for a long time, depending on the patient. If the patient has active TB and is not treated with anti-TB drugs, close contact may lead to TB infection. Therefore, you still need to go to the hospital for sputum culture tests to confirm TB infection.
