The pleural IGRA doesn’t be affected by adhesion in TPE patients. a, b The TPE patients were divided into two groups based on pleural biopsy, the levels of LDH (a) and ADA (b) in the supernatants of pleural effusion were determined, and the differences were compared in TPE patients with and without pleural adhesion. c, d The PFMCs were stimulated with ESAT-6 protein (c) and peptide (d) and IFN-γ responses were determined after 24hs incubation, the differences were compared in TPE patients with and without pleural adhesion. The unpaired t test was used for the analysis
