Brief Summary   Tubercular pleural effusion can lead to pleural thickening that can result in permanent restriction defect and even thoracic skeletal deformity. The initiation and maintenance of such thickening possibly involves the participation of matrix metalloproteinase, a class of enzyme that plays an integral role in the development of different tissue reactions to insults. Inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases may help to prevent or treat pleural thickening.
