Abstract

Hematological values of pulmonary tuberculosis patients were studied and following results were obtained. 1) The red cell counts, hemoglobin and hematocrit were decreased in pulmonary tuberculosis and also decreased with increasing activity of pul. tbc. White blood cell counts in pulmonary tuberculosis were indifferent from normal persons and increased with increasing activity of pulmonary tuberculosis. 2) Red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin and hematocrit values were not related with the duration of pulmonary tuberculosis. 3) Incidences of anemia were increased in pulmonary tuberculosis(88.6% of male, 72.4% of female)
