Patient: I had pleurisy in October 2009, wrapped without aspirate and tested as tuberculosis, and took oral anti-tuberculosis drugs for 8 months, now I have adhesions. Is there a good solution now. I hope to reply. Wang Shengwei, Department of Emergency Medicine, Nanjing Chest Hospital: It is very common for patients with tuberculous pleurisy to end up with partial pleural adhesions. The need for further treatment depends on the extent and degree of adhesions and whether they affect the patient’s daily life, etc. Mild adhesions need no special treatment, but severe ones that form encapsulation, cause thoracic deformity and affect the patient’s lung function need surgical treatment.
