1 CSF-ADA 10 U/l is the standard cut off value that is used for differentiation between Tuberculous (TBM) and Non-Tuberculous Meningitis (non-TBM). Tobramycin colony stimulating factor 2 Homo sapiens
2 CSF-ADA 10 U/l is the standard cut off value that is used for differentiation between Tuberculous (TBM) and Non-Tuberculous Meningitis (non-TBM). Tobramycin colony stimulating factor 2 Homo sapiens
3 RESULTS: The CSF-ADA activity of TBM and non-TBM cases was compared. Tobramycin colony stimulating factor 2 Homo sapiens
4 The mean CSF-ADA activity was found to be significantly higher in TBM patients (10.97+-4.43; Mean+-SD) than in non-TBM patients (5.09+-1.53) which was statistically significant with a p-value of <0.001. Tobramycin colony stimulating factor 2 Homo sapiens
5 The mean CSF-ADA activity was found to be significantly higher in TBM patients (10.97+-4.43; Mean+-SD) than in non-TBM patients (5.09+-1.53) which was statistically significant with a p-value of <0.001. Tobramycin colony stimulating factor 2 Homo sapiens
6 CONCLUSION: This study has demonstrated that CSF-ADA can be used as an important diagnostic tool in early diagnosis of TBM using a cut off value of 6.65. Tobramycin colony stimulating factor 2 Homo sapiens
