Diagnostic yield of thoracoscopic pleural biopsy in undiagnosed exudative pleural effusion and comparative analysis of pleural fluid adenosine deaminase levels

Undiagnosed exudative pleural effusion remains a frequent clinical challenge, particularly in high-burden settings where tuberculosis and malignancy predominate.
