Aims The aim of the study was to determine the performance of Xpert MTB/RIF assay in
diagnosing tuberculosis on thoracoscopic pleural biopsies in exudative pleural effusion.
Methods Patients who underwent thoracoscopic pleural biopsy in the defined period were
included in the study. Histopathology was done for all and Xpert MTB RIF assay and AFB
culture of pleural biopsy specimen and pleural fluid were done as per the clinician's
