Study of the Various Hematological Parameters In Z-N Positive Pulmonary Tuberculosis Patients Of Urban Population Of Central India

摘要

Background: Hematopoietic system is another organ seriously affected by tuberculosis. The hematological changes sometimes act as useful factors providing a clue to diagnosis, assessing the prognosis, indicating the complication of underlying infection as well as therapy and response to therapy.Methodology & Results: Present study was conducted on hematological parameters in pulmonary tuberculosis patients in the Department of Microbiology in Mahaveer Institute of Medical Science and Research, Bhopal. The study was conducted for a period of one year from December 2015 to November 2016. Total 100 patients were selected by Ziehl Neelson positive and changes were compared with normal hematological parameters. The testing protocol was followed in the hospital laboratory.Result: Most of the parameters showed decreased values like hemoglobin (Hb), red blood cell (RBC), packed cell volume (PCV), mean cell volume (MCV) and mean cell hemoglobin (MCH), total leukocyte count (TLC) and mean cell hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), while erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) showed significantly increased level.Conclusion: Various hematological abnormalities have been demonstrated in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. These all parameters can be used as an indicator in the assessment of response to therapy. Especially ESR showed significantly increased level and hemoglobin showed significantly decreased level.
