dc.description.abstract	The haematological indices of sixty two pre-treatment, sputumsmcar-AFB positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients were examined. Haematocrit, white cell count and differentials and erythrocyte sedimentation rates (ESR) were estimated by manual methods. The heamatological parameters were compared with age and sex matched control subjects. Statistically significant heamatologic abnormalities found include high erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), anaemia occurred in 93.6%, leucocytosis in 22.3%, neutrophilia in 45.2% and lymphopacnia in 4.8% of the patients. Thrombocytosis occurred in 12.9%,while 8% had thrombocytopaenia. None of the patients had leucopaenia and only 8.4% had lymphocytosis	en_US
