Nötrofil Lenfosit Oranı ve Monosit Lenfosit Oranı Çocukluk Çağı Tuberkülozu Tanısında Kullanılabilir mi?

Objective: Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and monocyte-lymphocyte (MLR) are useful biomarkers of inflammation used to evaluate bacteremia, disease activity, recurrence rate, surveillance prognosis in many diseases. In this study, we evaluated NLR MLR 92 children with tuberculosis versus 45 healthy show whether they can be as markers. Aim study was the diagnostic valure childhood tuberculosis.Materials Methods: retrospective hospital records were reviewed. The values patients compared control group children.Results: A significant difference found between NLO MLO groups (p <0.001). cut off value NLR>1.41was optimal for discriminating from controls (sensitivity 75%, specifity 82.2%, positive predictive 89.6%, negative 61.7%). MLR>0.22 50%, 91.1%, 93.3%, 53.2%).Conclusions: both diagnosis tuberculosis. Prospective more comprehensive studies needed make a clearer decision.
