Diagnostic Value of Hematological Parameters in Pelvic Inflammatory Disease

Introduction:In this study, we aimed to investigate the diagnostic value of hematologic parameters in pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).Methods:In this retrospective study, 122 patients diagnosed as PID (patient group) and 150 healthy women (control group) who applied for routine gynecological examination between May 2010 and May 2016 were included. White blood cell (WBC), neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet distribution volume (PDW), plateletcrit (PCT) values of the patient and control groups were compared.Results:There was no difference in terms of age, platelet, MPV, PCT, PDW values between the patient and control groups (p>0.05). NLR and PLR values were significantly higher in the patient group compared to the control group (p
