Stage three tuberculosis is the active disease, documented by Acid fast stain for 3 days, x-ray, and supported by history pointing to PTB. I assume you have a patient, since this is a case study. Just start with her medical history, both past and present, and any documented cases among the people she closely interacts with. Then proceed with the physical exam findings, followed by the laboratory results available to you. Read your book on the discussion of tuberculosis. Pleural effusion is indeed one of the complications of this disease. Then, finish with your management of the case. It's all in the textbooks, especially Harrison's. If you need some further discussion, look for it at www.emedicine.com. Good luck!
