The objective of this study is to incorporate serum Ferroxidase/Albumin ratio as a surrogate marker to assist in diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis. Forty cases of sputum for acid fast bacilli positive PTB patients compared with forty healthy controls. Serum Ferroxidase activity of Ceruloplasmin was determined by end point method using Ferrous Ammonium Sulphate Hexahydrate at 600nm. Serum Albumin was determined by Bromocresol green, dye binding method at 628nm. MeanDownloads
