[@parthgodhiwala2173]

What are the other investments in next line of work up that you would do if ADA report is not clear or you suspect something else as diagnosis other than Koch’s?

[@farhanjameel4471]

thanks and welcome

[@GauravKumar-st1cd]

Superb sir. ADA even pulmonologist don't talk with such clarity. In Pediatrics also it has very poor sensitivity and specificity for ExPTB.

[@sagar5267]

ADA 2 is more specific for TB

[@blackparade140]

very helpful

[@kalpeshoswal6285]

[@divaanshugupta]

Sir what is the difference between urea and uric acid and its importance in renal function test

Good afternoon sir. I had applied for the membership of esbicm several days back. Would u kindly go through it ?

[@brucellaabortus]

Why consider ADA in pleural fluid for TB when Xpert MTB-RIF test is easily available

[@TheICUChannel]

So that when someone asks or comes up with ADA report, we have the clarity.

[@brucellaabortus]

@@TheICUChannel Ultimately Xpert MTB-RIF assay is necessary as MDR TB is common in our country so before starting TB treatment we have to rule out MDR TB by Xpert MTB-RIF test or culture.

[@TheICUChannel]

@@brucellaabortus 👍🏼

[@parthgodhiwala2173]

Gene xpert detects M. TB in given sample and the bacterial load in pleural fluid is very low, hence chances of getting a positive report are low ( LOW SENSITIVITY)

[@brucellaabortus]

@@parthgodhiwala2173 Xpert MTB RIF assay has 50% sensitivity in pleural fluid but ulta assay have 71% sensitivity.

[@THEANESTHESIST]

Hello sir , nice explanation, i have a patient whose ADA levels after pleural tap is 23 in one lab test and just to confirm because he is showing a clinical picture of TB i ran it again from other lab which is showing ADA levels of 30, what could be the DD here?

[@TheICUChannel]

Don’t just look just Ada , look the whole pleural R/m and clinical picture of patient

[@THEANESTHESIST]

Sir clinical picture (history of weight loss,low grade fever on and off since 2 months) and radiological evidence and cytology is suggestive of TB but ADA having a 90% sensitivity is inconclusive.

[@THEANESTHESIST]

@@TheICUChannelbut there is no cough with sputum so didn’t do AFB and CBNAAT.
