Abstract

Background: Tuberculous pleural effusion is a paucibacillary manifestation of tuberculosis, so isolation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is difficult, biomarkers being an alternative for diagnosis. Adenosine deaminase has the potential to optimize the diagnostic approach of tuberculous pleural effusion. Methods: This study is a diagnostic test observational (cross-sectional), which included 35 inpatient samples that meet inclusion and exclusion criteria from H. Adam Malik Medan General Hospital. Research began on February 1st until July 31st 2016 to examine 10 cc of pleural fluid specimens for the levels of Adenosine deaminase. Results: There are significant differences in the levels of adenosine deaminase from tuberculous and non-tuberculous pleural effusion (P=0.001). In the cut-off point 36.55 IU/L, level of sensitivity 95.8%, specificity 90.99%, positive predictive value 95.8%, negative predictive value 90.99%, and accuracy 94.2% of pleural fluid adenosine deaminase level test in tuberculous pleural effusion. Conclusion: Adenosine deaminase pleural fluid can be a diagnostic modality that is easy, fast, relatively affordable and applicable in the diagnosis of tuberculous pleural effusion.

Abstract

Backgrounds: Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and smoking related disease such as chronic obstructive of lung disease (COPD) are major health problem around the world, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia. Chronic airway obstruction as impact of TB may results during or after completion of TB treatment. Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) is a cytokine which contributes to fibro genesis in post-TB treatment. The aim of this study was to compare the TGF-β in post-TB patients with and without smoking history. Methods: This was an analytic study with cross sectional design, conducted from October 2016 to February 2017 in RSUP H. Adam Malik Medan. All subjects had recovered from TB, confirmed by clinical, radiological and bacteriological examination. Smoking history of the subjects was assessed using Brinkman Index. The TGF-β measurement was performed using venous blood sample processed through Enzyme Link Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) by means of TGF-β kit. Results: This study included post-pulmonary TB patients, of which 26 subjects were smokers and 25 were non-smokers, consisted of 31 males and 20 females. The mean TGF-β level of all samples was 6690.5±4913.4 mg/ml. The mean TGF-β level in smokers was 6621.5±4856.7 mg/ml, while in non-smokers 6762.2±5071 mg/ml. Statistical analysis using Mann-Whitney test revealed that there were no significant differences of TGF-β level in smokers and non-smokers among post-pulmonary TB patients (P=0.618). Conclusions: There were no significant differences of TGF-β level in smokers and non-smokers among post-pulmonary TB patients. (J Respir Indo. 2020; 40(3): 139-43)
