Adenosine deaminase in pleural fluid (pADA), CA125 in serum (sCA125), and IFN-gamma in pleural fluid (pIFN-gamma) were measured in patients with pleurisy of various causes to evaluate their diagnostic utility in tuberculous pleuritis (TBP). We studied 39 pleural fluid samples, including 11 TBP and 28 non-TBP. With both pADA and sCA125, although the median values were much higher in TBP than in non-TBP groups, there was considerable overlap between the two groups. The sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic efficiency were 81.8%, 89.3%, and 87.2%, respectively, when pADA values of more than 45 U ml-1 were considered, and they were 100%, 75.0%, and 84.2%, respectively, when sCA125 values of more than 35 U ml-1 were considered. In contrast, pIFN-gamma values were significantly higher in TBP patients (5.8 +/- 3.0 IU ml-1; mean +/- S.D.) than those in non-TBP patients (< 0.3 IU ml-1), leading to both a sensitivity and a specificity of 100%.
对各种病因引起胸膜炎的患者,检测其胸腔积液中的腺苷脱氨酶(pADA)、血清中的CA125(sCA125)以及胸腔积液中的干扰素-γ(pIFN-γ),以评估它们在结核性胸膜炎(TBP)中的诊断效用。我们研究了39份胸腔积液样本,其中11份为结核性胸膜炎,28份为非结核性胸膜炎。对于pADA和sCA125,尽管结核性胸膜炎组的中位数远高于非结核性胸膜炎组,但两组之间有相当大的重叠。当pADA值大于45 U/ml时,敏感性、特异性和诊断效率分别为81.8%、89.3%和87.2%;当sCA125值大于35 U/ml时,它们分别为100%、75.0%和84.2%。相比之下,结核性胸膜炎患者的pIFN-γ值(5.8±3.0 IU/ml;均值±标准差)显著高于非结核性胸膜炎患者(<0.3 IU/ml),敏感性和特异性均为100%。
