Abstract
The elevation of ADA in CSF is useful as a diagnostic means for detecting tuberculous meningitis, and in other etiologies such as lymphoma, neurosarcoidosis, fulminant bacterial meningitis, cryptococcal meningitis, neurobrucellosis and AIDS. We report an increase of ADA in CSF in association with SHA. In our case the total activity of ADA was the same as that obtained in serum, which can be interpreted among the false positives of the determination.
