Diagnostic value of the ratio of pleural fluid adenosine deaminase activity to serum adenosine deaminase activity in children with tuberculosis and non tuberculosis pleural effusion

MRIMS Journal of Health Sciences, 2014
Adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity was assayed in pleural fluid and serum of 78 subjects with pleural effusion. 48 of them had tuberculosis (TB) pleural effusion and the remaining 30 had pleural effusions due to non TB respiratory diseases.
