Determination of elevated eosinophil to lymphocyte ratio, eosinophil to neutrophil ratio, eosinophil to monocyte ratio and its association with severe vitiligo: A retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hematological markers such as eosinophil-to-lymphocyte (ELR), eosinophil-to-neutrophil (ENR), and eosinophil-to-monocyte (EMR) ratios may be used in the assessment of skin diseases. However, the relationship with vitiligo remains unclear.

Objectives

We investigated ELR, ENR, and EMR in vitiligo patients and the association with severe vitiligo.

Methods

This study included patients of all ages diagnosed with vitiligo between 2005-2020. ELR, EMR, and ENR were calculated from complete blood counts within 30 days of the first recorded vitiligo diagnosis and 12-18 months before the vitiligo diagnosis. We evaluated the associations between ELR, ENR, and EMR and vitiligo.

Results

9,826 vitiligo patients (8,398 adults and 1,428 children) and 8,951 age and se
