ABSTRACT

Tuberculosis with its varied clinical manifestations is a common health problem amongst the developing countries. In this study we prospectively studied the role of ADA levels in cold abscess content vis a vis pyogenic abscess and brought out its positive role as an economical, rapid and reliable tool in diagnosis of cold abscess.

Key Words:  Adenosine Deaminase, Cold Abscess, Psoas Abscess, Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, Pulmonary Tuberculosis, Extra Pulmonary Tuberculosis.
