Diagnostic value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio and red blood cell distribution width in tuberculosis combined with other bacterial infections.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the clinical significance of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR), and red blood cell distribution width (RDW) in pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) associated with other bacterial lung infections.

Methods

A total of 74 patients with PTB complicated with other bacterial lung infections, who were admitted to the Sixth People's Hospital of Nantong City (Nantong, China) from January 2021 to December 2023, were included in this study as the PTB with infection complication group. A comparison group of 96 patients with uncomplicated PTB, admitted to the same hospital during the same period, was used as the PTB without infection complication group. The NLR, FAR, and RDW values in peripheral blood were determined and compared
