[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Tubercular pleural effusion is classified as extra pulmonary tuberculosis. It is infection of pleural layers (layers surrounding lungs). So lung tissue is not infected. And hence patient is not infectious. Only pulmonary tuberculosis (lung infection) is infectious. Tubercular pleural effusion is not infectious and hence no risk of infection by sharing same room. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
