A 37-year-old male presented with intermittent pyrexia, sweats, rigors, reduced appetite and weight loss. Post-contrast CT shows a moderate volume left pleural effusion with pleural thickening and enhancement (mediastinal window, axial plane—a, arrowheads).

Pleural biopsy confirmed the presence of acid-fast bacilli
