Hematological and Biochemical Levels in Patients with Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Thi-Qar province-Iraq

Abstract

This study was conducted in AL-Nasiria city ThiQarn province   to evaluate the hematological and biochemical   parameters  of patients with (Cutaneous Leishmaniasis) (CL).In This study, 5 ml venous blood was collected from 49 individuals aged from 18 to 45years ,  29 patients had(CL)   and 20 free from CL were used as a control. Whole blood used for calculated  WBC_s count, differential WBC_s count, RBC_s count, hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit,  and platelets count. While Serum used for calculated biochemical parameters such as liver enzymes and lipid profile after statistical analysis of the results showed no n significant differences in differential WBCs count and RBCS indices. on other hand  a significant increase in triglycerides, cholesterol, high-density lipoproteins and very low lipoproteins  in patients with CL as compared with controls. Results of liver enzymes showed a significant decrease in ALT and non significant difference in AST.
