Abstract: Adenosine deaminase, an enzyme produced from lymphocyte and involved in purine metabolism has been extensively studied as a biochemical marker in pleural fluid during investigation for tropical pulmonary eosinophilia. The test assay, low priced, quick, barely forwarded, and can be performed in most laboratories its major physiological role is related to the proliferation and distinction of lymph cell. Pleural fluid of tuberculate start is generally lymph cell preponderant. Different cut off values of Adenosine Deaminase ranging from 30-100 IU/ L have been used in various studies with differing sensitivities and specificities.
