IJERPH, Vol. 15, Pages 2235: Potential Diagnostic Properties of Chest Ultrasound in Thoracic Tuberculosis —A Systematic Review

Conclusions: Very few studies with important methodological limitations analyze the role of chest ultrasound in the diagnosis of TB. The scarce available data suggests potential targets of future diagnostic or feasibility trials, such as the detection of tuberculosis–related pleural effusion, residual pleural thickening, lymphadenopathy, TB parenchymal patterns, or the use of CUS in biopsy guidance.
