ADA -2 FOR TUBERCULOUS PLEURITIS

ADA2 IS A SENSITIVE AND SPECIFIC MARKER
Studies suggest that ADA2 ratios are efficient and accurate markers in tuberculosis identification
ADA2 exists only in monocyte-macrophages and is the predominant isoform in tuberculous pleural effusion accounting for 88% (median) of total ADA activity
Studies indicate an increase in total serum ADA seen in certain infectious diseases like that of tuberculous pleuritis is due primilary to increased ADA2 production by activated macrophages.
