Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a malignancy from hematopoietic cells, characterized by clonal proliferation of abnormal blast cells in the bone marrow and failure of average cell production. Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) is a respiratory infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. COVID-19 infection in AML patients will affect laboratory examinations to support the di…
Background:Sepsis is a condition in systemic infection associated with organ dysfunction. Interleukin-17 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine produced by Th-17 cells. C-reactive protein and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) have been widely used as markers of inflammation.The relationship between IL-17 as a proinflammatory cytokine with CRP and NLR has not been reported.Objective: Th…
Introduction : Platelet and lymphocyte are crucial in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) pathogenesis. Platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) is a systemic biomarker which indicates thrombosis and inflammation. The diagnosis of AMI can be made by detecting elevated blood troponin I levels. The correlation between PLR and troponin I levels in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patien…
