Discussion

Cross-sectional study demonstrates haematological disruptions in pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis, indicating clinical implications.

Anaemia is prevalent in 68.96% of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, and 47.61% in those with extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
Leucocytosis affected 82.75% of pulmonary tuberculosis patients, highlighting a significant immune response.
Thrombocytosis was more common in patients with extrapulmonary tuberculosis at 80.95%, compared to 50% in pulmonary cases.
Overall, the findings underscore systemic effects of both types of tuberculosis on haematological parameters.

Chakravarti et al. (2025) studied this question.
