Abstract
Introduction: This study was aimed to detect the effects of HSV infection on different blood parameters using RBC, Hb, MCV, MCH, HCT/PCV, WBC, Neutrophil, Eosinophil, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Platelets, MPV, PCT and RBS. Methods: The patients were divided into two groups according to their sex. Most of the patients were in between 20-40 years. For male highest number of patients found in the 30-40 years age group and then 20-30, 10-20 years age group. For female highest number of patients found in the 20-30 years age group and then 30-40 years age group. One hundred twenty two (122) HSV infected patients attending Popular Diagnostic Limited, Uttara, Dhaka, Bangladesh was selected for this study. A specimen of 2.5 ml of blood was collected from each patient in EDTA container. Automated hematological analyzer (Sysmex XT-2000i) was used to measure the parameters. Data were analyzed statistically by using IBM SPSS Statistics, version 18. Results: Percentile results showed decrease level of RBC (41.18%), Hb (35.14%), MCV (17.34%), MCH (44.23%) and HCT (34.62%) for female participants compare to male. WBC, lymphocytes and RBS levels were found with moderately increased values between both the sexes. Except these all other parameters such as Neutrophil, Eosinophil, Monocytes, platelets, MPV and PCT were within the standard criteria. Conclusion: No statistically significant conclusion could be drawn for this study on HSV infection effects on different blood parameters.
