Laboratory and radiological discrimination between tuberculous and malignant pleural effusions with high adenosine deaminase levels

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Pleural fluid adenosine deaminase (ADA) levels are useful in discriminating tuberculous pleural effusions (TPEs) from malignant pleural effusions (MPEs). However, some patients with MPE exhibit high-ADA levels, which may mimic TPEs. There is limited data regarding the differential d...
