We analysed the efficacy of pleural adenosine deaminase (ADA(p)) and the ADA(1)/ADA(p) ratio in the diagnosis of pleural tuberculosis in 103 pleural effusions, 27 of which were tuberculosis (TB) and 76 other diagnoses (non-TB). Smears, cultures and pleural biopsies were carried out in all cases, and were used for final diagnosis.The diagnostic yield of the parameters under study were as follows: smears/cultures of mycobacteria in fluid 11.1%/33.3%; biopsy 33.3%/51.8% and tuberculosis granulomas 85.1%. The levels of ADA(p) and ADA(1)/ADA(p) ratio in TB and non-TB groups showed very significant differences (P
