Objective: We aimed to investigate the parameters of complete blood count and the levels of systemic inflammatory biomarkers in children with allergic conjunctivit and to evaluate their role in diagnosis in this study.
Method: We included 71 pediatric patients with allergic conjunctivit diagnosis referred from the ophthalmology outpatient clinics who had sensitivity to at least one allergen and 71 age- and sex-matched healthy controls and compared complete blood count results, immunoglobulin E, Neutrophil/Lymphocyte, and Platelet/ Lymphocyte ratios and systemic immune-inflammation index results. We built a multivariate model with correlated results.
Results: Eosinophil counts and serum total IgE values were significantly higher in the patient group compared to the control group (p
Key words: allergic conjunctivit, inflammation, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, platelet/lymphocyte ratio, systemic immune inflammation index
