Hello
You mentioned that you took anti tubercular treatment and in spite of this there is pus in the chest , removed by a hospital but didn't show any tubercular bacteria in culture or examination.
Since you took or you were taking anti tubercular treatment so this didn't show any bacteria .
Again there is pus formation in your chest .
When the patient is found to have a pleural effusion , an effort should be made to determine the cause . The first step is to determine the effusion is a transudate or exudate .
Usually transudate pleural effusion occurs when systemic factors that influence the formation and absorption are altered.
Exudate type fluid occurs due to local causes .
There are so many reasons of fluid so in my opinion consult a PULMONOLOGIST and get his opinion .\
Hope this will help you.
