A 70-year-old male patient presented to the respiratory medicine outpatient department (OPD) with chief complaints of left-sided chest pain and dyspnea on exertion for the last 2 years. The patient also had complaints of cough with occasional mucoid expectoration for the last 2 months. A detailed history revealed a history of left-sided tubercular empyema in 2018, in which the patient had taken anti-tubercular treatment for 6 months, and was informed that he did not go to the pulmonologist for regular follow-up as advised.
