Elevation of CSF adenosine deaminase in HIV patient with meningitis from retroviral rebound syndrome, a case report.
2020
Adenosine deaminase (ADA) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is considered to be a useful biomarker in differentiating tuberculous meningitis (TBM) from other meningitis in non-HIV patients. However, its specificity decreases in patients with HIV, and other diseases such as cytomegalovirus encephalitis, toxoplasmosis or meningeal lymphomatosis can also elevate ADA in CSF. We here report a rare case of retroviral rebound syndrome in a HIV patient, whose ADA in CSF was elevated.
