Özet

OBJECTIVE: In recent years, neutrophil-lymphocyte rate (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte rate (PLR) are reported to be increasing in plenty of rheumatological diseases and the latter rates to be disease activity indicators. In our study, we aimed to search for the difference in NLR and PLR before and after the treatment, their relationship with the disease activity and their seasonal differences in patients using anti-TNF medication for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) while.
