The dubious value of cerebrospinal fluid adenosine deaminase measurement for the diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis
BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis (TBM) can be extremely difficult in the absence of culture confirmation. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) adenosine deaminase (ADA) can potentially assist in this regard, although its current value remains unclear. The literature on the usefulness of CSF...
