background: lymphocyte subsets enumeration is considered prominent in the management of primary and acquired immunodeficiency disorders. because of local variations due to race, age, gender, and environmental conditions on lymphocyte subsets, and to improve the accuracy of interpretation of laboratory findings, reference intervals must be determined in every population. objective: to establish ...

We read the recent article by Biggs et al. on the use of the absolute lymphocyte count in the diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis. We carried out a similar study on the use of the lymphocyte to white cell ratio, and later reanalyzed our data using an absolute lymphocyte count above 4, in response to an earlier study carried out by Biggs et al. We would like to highlight the divergence in resu...

Aim: In our study, we aimed to show the relationship between neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-lymphocyte neutrophil-monocyte ratio and mean platelet volume, Helicobacter pylori positivity severity. Material Methods: this included 596 patients without active and/or chronic disease who underwent upper gastrointestinal system endoscopy due dyspeptic complaints in a state hospital July 2021 20...

OBJECTIVE Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination is mandatory whenever central nervous system (CNS) infection is suspected. However, pleocytosis is not detected in a substantial number of suspected patients who undergo CSF examination. This study aimed to identify parameters that can aid in predicting negative CSF examination results (defined as a white blood cell count of <5 cells/high-power fi...

A number of prognostic factors have been reported in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Although lymph node metastasis is the most poorly predictive value in completely resected NSCLC, a significant number of patients have a fatal recurrence even in node-negative curative NSCLC. Recently inflammatory response has been shown as a predictive value in NSCLC. Neutrophils and lymphocytes play an im...
