Abstract
We evaluated soluble interleukin-2 receptors (sIL-2R), neopterin and adenosine deaminase (ADA) in pleural effusions from 93 patients with tuberculosis, malignancies, uremia, pneumonia and other kinds of pleurisy. There were significantly elevated ADA (102.7 ± 47 U/1) and sIL-2R (8,238 ± 4,117 U/ml) values in tuberculous (TB) pleural fluids as compared with other non-TB pleural fluids (pKeywords
