Abstract
ZUNIGA-RAMIREZ, Carlos and SOTO-HERNANDEZ, José Luis. The determination of the enzime of adenosine desaminase is a well studied test for the determination of tuberculosis infection. Arch. Neurocien. (Mex., D.F.) [online]. 2005, vol.10, n.1, pp.2-8. ISSN 1028-5938.
The test has being perforomed in diferent fluids pleural, abdominal etc. We made the determination in spinal fluids using simples of 332 patients studied during one year. Some of the patients had a proved infection of tuberculosis because the bactery was identified. The sensibility of the test was 64% but the treatment might have changed the results. The negativity test descards the disease. However the test rapid and expensive results are recomended as diagnostic.
Keywords : tuberculosis of the central nervous system; enzime of adenosine deaminase; diagnostic; mico-bactery.
