Objective: In the present study we investigate the level of subclinical
inflammatory markers neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to
lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and red blood cell distribution width (RDW) in FMS
Method: Included in the study were 98 patients who had been newly diagnosed with
FMS according to the 2010 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria and
38 healthy controls. The age, Body Mass Index (BMI), White Blood Cell (WBC),
neutrophil, lymphocyte, platelet, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP)
and Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) values of the participants in both
groups were recorded, and also the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Fibromyalgia
Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) scores of the patients
Results : There was no statistically significant difference
between Groups 1 and 2 with respect to NLR, PLR and RDW values (p>0.05).
Conclusions: Blood NLR, PLR and RDW values in patients with FMS
have no significance in an investigation of subclinical inflammation.
