Utility of Ascitic Fluid Adenosine Deaminase Levels in the Diagnosis of Tuberculous Peritonitis in General Medical Practice [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, 2020 Background. Tuberculous peritonitis is difficult to diagnose due to its varying clinical features, in addition to the low yield on bacterial culture or polymerase chain reaction using ascitic fluid samples. This study aimed to investigate the sensitivity

Characteristics of ascitic fluid from patients with suspected spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in emergency units at a tertiary hospital [PDF]
São Paulo Medical Journal, 2011 CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is a complication of ascites, especially in cirrhosis. Ascitic fluid with 250 or more neutrophils/mm³ is an acceptable criterion for diagnosis, even when bacterial fluid cultures are negative.

Extracellular vesicles derived from ascitic fluid enhance growth and migration of ovarian cancer cells. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2021 Ovarian cancer is associated with a high mortality rate due to diagnosis at advanced stages. Dissemination often occurs intraperitoneally within the ascites fluid. The microenvironment can support dissemination through several mechanisms.
