Popis:	Objective The purpose of this study was to determine the diagnostic value of pleural fluid lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)/pleural fluid adenosine deaminase (ADA) ratio in differentiating pleural effusions owing to tuberculous pleurisy (TBP) and parapneumonic effusion (PPE). Patients and methods The data of 272 patients (140 patients with TBP and 132 patients with PPE) between January 2012 and October 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. Demographic data of all patients; concurrent serum glucose, albumin, protein, and LDH values; and pleural fluid pH, glucose, albumin, protein, and ADA results have been reviewed. Results Pleural fluid ADA values were statistically significantly higher in the TBP group than PPE (P
