As per your history is concerned there are many points for this reason ,so first do a full blood count with differential and do a tuberculin test to ruled out most common infections as well as tuberculosis .(Thanks)
Investigations-
Full blood count with differential
Liver and kidney function test
ECG & ECHO
Do a thoracoscopy and send for culture of fluid and cytologic exam
