Predictive Contribution of NeutrophilLymphocyte Ratio in Diagnosis of Brucellosis

Abstract EN

Here we wanted to investigate predictive value of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in the diagnosis of brucellosis.

Thirty-two brucellosis patients diagnosed with positive serum agglutination test and thirty-two randomized healthy subjects were enrolled in this study retrospectively.

Result with ROC analyzes the baseline NLR and hemoglobin values were found to be significantly associated with brucellosis ( P = 0.01 , P = 0.01 , resp.).

Herein we demonstrated for the first time that NLR values were significantly associated with brucellosis.

This situation can help clinicians during diagnosis of brucellosis.
