Abstract

Objective: Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) are useful biomarkers of inflammation used to evaluate bacteremia, disease activity, recurrence rate, surveillance and prognosis in many diseases. In this study, we evaluated NLR and MLR of 92 children with tuberculosis versus 45 healthy children to show whether they can be used as inflammation markers. Aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic valure of NLR and MLR in childhood tuberculosis.

Özet

Amaç: Nötrofil-lenfosit oranı (NLO) ve monosit-lenfosit oranı (MLO) birçok hastalıkta bakteriyemi, hastalık aktivitesi, nüks oranı, sürveyans ve prognozu değerlendirmek için kullanılan yararlı inflamasyon biyobelirteçleridir. Bu çalışmada, enflamasyon belirteçleri olarak kullanılıp kullanılamayacaklarını göstermek için tüberkülozlu 92 çocuğun NLO ve MLO'sunu 45 sağlıklı çocukla karşılaştırarak değerlendirdik. Çalışmamızın amacı, çocukluk çağı TB tanısında NLO ve MLO'nun tanısal değerini göstermektir.
