AbstractWe analysed the efficacy of pleural adenosine deaminase (ADAp) and the ADA1ADAp ratio in the diagnosis of pleural tuberculosis in 103 pleural effusions, 27 of which were tuberculosis (TB) and 76 other diagnoses (non-TB). Smears, cultures and pleural biopsies were carried out in all cases, and were used for final diagnosis.The diagnostic yield of the parameters under study were as follows: smears/cultures of mycobacteria in fluid 11·1%33·3%; biopsy 33·3%51·8% and tuberculosis granulomas 85·1%. The levels of ADAp and RDA1ADAp ratio in TB and non-TB groups showed very significant differences (P<0·00001); in the TB group: ADAp 54·7±23·5 IU and ADA1ADAp 0·27±0·08; in the non-TB group: ADAp 18·3±43·2 IU and ADA1ADAp 0·64±0·14.The assay es...
