Comparative accuracy of pleural fluid unstimulated interferon-gamma and adenosine deaminase for diagnosing pleural tuberculosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

<h4>Objective</h4>We compared diagnostic accuracy of pleural fluid adenosine deaminase (ADA) and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) in diagnosing tuberculous pleural effusion (TPE) through systematic review and comparative meta-analysis.<h4>Methods</h4>We queried PubMed and Embase data...
