    Abstract

    Background: Pleural effusion, characterized by excessive fluid accumulation in the pleural cavity, presents diagnostic challenges in differentiating its causes, primarily tuberculous pleuritis (TPE), parapneumonic effusion (PPE), and malignant pleural effusion (MPE). This study evaluates the diagnostic utility of pleural fluid adenosine deaminase (ADA) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels, as well as their ratio, in categorizing pleural effusions.
