Abstract

Pulmonary TB is the commonest form of TB, and a definite microbiological diagnosis is possible in most instances through sputum microscopy, culture and the use of cartridgebased nucleic acid amplification tests (CBNAAT) and fluid ADA levels. The present study was undertaken to estimate the levels of pleural fluid ADA levels and CBNAAT testing in patients with
exudative pleural effusion and to study the diagnostic accuracy of ADA and CBNAAT testing in suspected cases of tubercular exudative pleural effusion
