| Abstract: | Aim of present study was to compare the adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity in various types of arthritis conditions with synovial
effusion. No. significant difference was observed in ADA activity in serum of control and study groups but results have shown
a definite pattern of ADA activity in synovial fluid in various arthritic conditions. The highest value of ADA activity was
observed in synovial fluid of patients with tubercular arthritis followed by rheumatoid, septic, osteo and post traumatic
arthritis. Thus measurement of ADA activity in synovial fluid can be used as a parameter of differential diagnosis of arthritis
specially tubercular in initial stages. |
