HIV is one of the most prevalent diseases and causes of mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. Pleural disease is common in the population of this region, especially pleural effusion. The disease is associated with a significant mortality rate, and correct diagnostic and therapeutic management is essential to optimising the possibility of a favourable outcome. |
