Adenosine Deaminase – (AF)
Test
Adenosine Deaminase - (AF)
The adenosine deaminase (AF) test is used along with other tests called acid-fast bacillus (AFB) smear and culture, used to determine whether a person has a Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection of the lining of the lungs.
Adenosine Deaminase - (AF) Tests
Adenosine Deaminase - (CSF)
This test is performed to measure the level of adenosine deaminase enzyme present in the patient's
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Doctors recommend this test to diagnose Tuberculous Meningitis.
Adenosine Deaminase - (PF)
This test detects the ADA or Adenosine Deaminase level in one's pleural fluid (PF). Doctors recommend
this test to identify or rule out the disease Mycobacterium tuberculosis in patients.
Adenosine Deaminase - (PUS)
This test is performed to measure the level of adenosine deaminase enzyme present in the PUS of an
individual. Doctors recommend this test to evaluate, identify, and assess the presence of bacterial, viral,
or auto-immune diseases like extrapulmonary tuberculosis, HIV, pericarditis, etc.
