Chylothorax in an adult is a rare cause of pleural effusion. Mycobacterium tuberculosis may cause chylous effusion, but usually in association with extensive intrapulmonary involvement. A case of chylothorax is presented in which M tuberculosis was isolated from the pleural fluid and was the only intrathoracic manifestation of tuberculosis.
成人乳糜胸是胸腔积液的罕见病因。结核分枝杆菌可导致乳糜性胸腔积液,但通常与广泛的肺内受累有关。本文报告一例乳糜胸病例,从胸腔积液中分离出结核分枝杆菌,且这是结核病唯一的胸内表现。
