Association of Serum ADA Levels in Pulmonary Tuberculosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Serum ADA levels were significantly elevated in patients with PTB, indicating a consistent biological association with disease status. However, given the high heterogeneity and the absence of diagnostic accuracy measures (e.g., sensitivity and specificity), these findings should not be interpreted as evidence of clinical diagnostic performance. Further diagnostic test accuracy studies are required to establish its clinical utility.
