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)
