hello.
please report are you having any cough or fever?
pleural thickening and accumulation of pleural fluid is suggestive of an infection of which tb is one of them.
please get a blood examination which includes
TLC
DlC
ESR
and a mantoux test to rule out tb.
also report if you are having any other symptoms.
take care
