OBJECTIVE: In the present study, we aimed to assess and compare the utility of complete blood count (CBC) parameters and C-reactive protein (CRP) in the diagnosis of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). STUDY DESIGN: Sixty-six patients diagnosed with PID, and 200 healthy control subjects were included in this case-control study. The groups were compared in terms of demographic properties such as age, parity, body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin value, neutrophil count, platelet count, neutrophil/ lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), mean platelet volume (MPV) and CRP. RESULTS: The groups were similar in terms of age, parity, BMI, hemoglobin and platelet count values (p>0.05). Neutrophil counts, CRP values, NLR and PLR were significantly higher and the MPV values were significantly lower in the study group (p |
