ANIMAL MODEL
A suitable animal model can be used to test key hypotheses at a much faster rate than the research based on the patient. In clinical researches, we have to measure something related to the desired variable, with low credibility, due to an impractical or impossible measurement of the desired variable. Thus, a reasonable animal model represents a remarkably powerful approach for the solution of clinical problems[60]. TBCP has the characteristics of difficulty in Diagnosis, untimely discovery, and high mortality. Considering these aspects and the global epidemic of TB and the related diseases, we suggest that a reasonable animal model of TBCP is necessary. So far, no researches of animal model about TBCP have been found. Some animal models of pericarditis and other kinds of CP are shown in the table below. (Table.1)
