Abstract

Background and Objective: The determination of hematological indices provides physiological information on a proper blood assessment. Accurate laboratory determination of blood parameters remains the only sensitive and reliable foundation for ethical and rational research, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases. In the present study we investigated the blood leucocyte count in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in young adult men.

Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted at Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore, after the institutional ethical clearance and informed consent from all the participants. Under aseptic condition blood was collected for total leucocyte count and differential leucocyte count using automated haematology analyzer. Routine pulmonary function testing was done on them by using Patrick Morgan Benchmark computerized spirometry. Students t
