Diagnostic accuracy of pleural fluid lactate dehydrogenase to adenosine deaminase ratio for tuberculous pleural effusion: an analysis of two cohorts

Diagnostic accuracy of pleural fluid lactate dehydrogenase to adenosine deaminase ratio for tuberculous pleural effusion: an analysis of two cohorts

Abstract Background This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of pleural fluid (PF) lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) to adenosine deaminase (ADA) (LDH/ADA) ratio for tuberculous pleural effusion (TPE). Especially to explore whether the LDH/ADA ratio provides added diagnostic value to ADA. Meth...
