Journal Title: International Journal of Allied Medical Sciences and Clinical Research - Year 2019, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Background Tuberculosis is a major public health problem in India. There is a paucity of literature in the hematological changes associated with tuberculosis, though tuberculosis is a common condition. Objective: To evaluate the hematological parameters in tuberculosis and find its assertiveness as a diagnostic, prognostic and predictive tool for physicians. Conclusion Variety of hematological abnormalities has been demonstrated in patients with tuberculosis in the present review. Many of them are consistent with reported literature and reinforce the fact that they can be valuable tools in monitoring tuberculosis such as anemia and increased ESR. Other findings such as thrombocytosis and pancytopenia suggest the need for further studies in this field.
