Only the results obtained from the first thoracocentesis were included and samples from empyema were excluded from our analysis. Pleural ADA was measured using Giusti's colorimetric method. Mann–Whitney test was performed to compare medians and a Receiver Operating Curve (ROC) was used to determine the predictive parameters of different cutoffs.

Of the 107 patients, 57.9% were males, median age was 72.5 (interquartile range: 59.7; 80.2) and all the patients were of European ethnicity.

Using the ROC curve we found that an ADA cutoff of 40.5<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>U/L had the best performance in the diagnosis of pleural TB (see <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#tbl0005">Table 1</a>), with a sensitivity of 95%, specificity of 91.55%, positive predictive value (PPV) of 73.08% and negative predictive value (NPV) of 98.77%. Seven nontuberculous exudates (8.0%) reached the diagnostic cutoff. Using a >50% lymphocyte count criteria in the diagnostic workup, only 4.5% nontuberculous exudates were misclassified – 2 malignant (plasmocytoma and lymphoma) and 2 parapneumonic. The association of these two criteria increased specificity (95.40%) and PPV (82.61%). Using an ADA cutoff level of 74.6<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>U/L and the >50% lymphocyte criteria further increased specificity (98.85%) and PPV (93.75%), and only one (1.1%) nontuberculous exudate was misclassified.</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="tbl0005"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The diagnosis of tuberculous pleural effusion is a common diagnostic challenge due to low mycobacterial detection rates and to the frequent need for invasive, sometimes technically difficult, operator dependent techniques like the pleural biopsy or thoracoscopy.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> In this context, a rational interpretation of pleural fluid characteristics, particularly ADA level and differential leukocyte count, is essential to the diagnostic workup.

If, however, the disease is less prevalent, the probability of a high ADA being due to other causes, such as cancer, increases, and PPV of pleural ADA is lower. This is most evident in countries with a low prevalence of tuberculosis and an aging population, as it is in old age that malignant effusions are more prevalent.</p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In conclusion, pleural ADA is a valuable tool in the diagnostic workup of pleural TB in Portugal and should routinely be used in the exclusion or confirmation of TB in the differential diagnosis of patients with a pleural effusion of unknown cause. Furthermore, in order to make a correct interpretation of its values, we have highlighted: potential false-positives; the usefulness of different ADA cutoffs for the exclusion or confirmation of TB; and the impact of TB prevalence on the predictive parameters of this tool.</p></span>" "pdfFichero" => "main.pdf" "tienePdf" => true "fechaRecibido" => "2014-02-09" "fechaAceptado" => "2014-03-10" "multimedia" => array:1 [ 0 => array:7 [ "identificador" => "tbl0005" "etiqueta" => "Table 1" "tipo" => "MULTIMEDIATABLA" "mostrarFloat" => true "mostrarDisplay" => false "tabla" => array:2 [ "leyenda" => "<p id="spar0010" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">PPV: positive predictive value;
