Researchers at Thai Nguyen University of Medicine and Pharmacy conducted a study on tuberculosis, focusing on the diagnostic values of adenosine deaminase (ADA) and cytokines in fluid for detecting extrapulmonary tuberculosis. The study included 386 patients with pleural effusion, 47 patients with peritoneal effusion, and 134 patients with encephalitis and meningoencephalitis suspected of TB. The findings suggest that measuring ADA and IFN-g levels in aspiration fluid could be a highly sensitive and specific test for differentiating pleural TB, peritoneal TB, and meningeal TB.
