Abstract
Aim: Improve the survival rate of patients. Reduced the morbidity and mortality of tuberculosis, Reduced the incidence of tuberculosis induced acute illness and prevent the complication.
Materials and Methods: The present study was done at M.Y. Hospital, Indore. In our study, case group included 71 cases attending OPD.
Results: In our study, ADA level is positive in 31 cases in pulmonary tuberculosis, in 14 cases in lung cancer and in 26 cases in pneumonia.
Conclusion: Adenosine deaminase level in body fluids is a good indicator of TB. It can be performed with minimum time, cost and equipments.
Keywords: Adenosine Deaminase, body fluid.
