To evaluate the tests for anti-TB and adenosine deaminase (ADA) in ascites in an attempt to distinguish between tuberculous ascites and carcinous ascites.
DIGFA was used to test anti-TB and Martineck's method was used to determine the level of ADA in 35 cases of tuberculous ascites and 31 cases of carcinous ascites.
The levels of anti-TB and ADA in ascites were significantly higher in tuberculous ascites than those in carcinous ascites (P < 0.01). When the level of ADA was higher than 45 U/L, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy in the diagnosis of tuberculous ascites were 100%, 97.1% and 98.5%, respectively. When the result of anti-TB test was positive, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy in the diagnosis of tuberculous ascites were 93.5%, 94.3% and 95.38%, respectively.
The tests for anti-TB and ADA in ascites are of important clinical value to differential diagnosis in an attempt to distinguish between tuberculous ascites and carcinous ascites.
评估腹水抗结核及腺苷脱氨酶(ADA)检测,以鉴别结核性腹水和癌性腹水。
采用斑点免疫金渗滤法检测35例结核性腹水及31例癌性腹水的抗结核情况,采用马丁内克法测定ADA水平。
结核性腹水腹水中抗结核及ADA水平显著高于癌性腹水(P<0.01)。当ADA水平高于45 U/L时,诊断结核性腹水的敏感度、特异度及准确度分别为100%、97.1%及98.5%。当抗结核检测结果为阳性时,诊断结核性腹水的敏感度、特异度及准确度分别为93.5%、94.3%及95.38%。
腹水抗结核及ADA检测对鉴别结核性腹水和癌性腹水的临床诊断具有重要价值。
