Perbedaan Parameter Hematologi pada Penderita Tuberkulosis Paru Terinfeksi Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Galur Beijing dengan Galur Non-Beijing
Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic inflammation disease; a high numbers of tuberculosis cases can be caused by virulence potential of each Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) strain. The event of inflammation process influences the hematopoietic system which gives various hematology examination results. This study was conducted in order to analyze various forms of hematological manifestation occur in patients with lung TB caused by MTB Beijing strain and non-Beijing strain infections. This study was performed on 74 lung TB-infected patients with positive acid-fast bacilli, consisting of 61% males dan 39% females whose age ranged from 18 to 63 (32.6+12.2) years old. Spoligotyping was performed, resulting in 24 (32%) Beijing strain and 50 (68%) non-Beijing strain infections. Hematological examination was performed using hematology analyzer and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) with Westergreen method. Hemoglobin level ranged from 8.6 to14.8 (11.8) g/dL and 8.1-16.5 (12.0) g/dL from Beijing strain and non-Beijing strain, respectively, with more anemia was found in Beijing strain patients (71%) compared to non-Beijing strain (62%). There was no differences in absolute erythrocyte count, except in red blood cell distribution width (RDW). The comparison of ESR result between Beijing and non-Beijing in ESR resulting in 94.0 (35.03) vs 89.9 (29.96) mm with no difference in leukocytosis, yet 66.7% neutrophilia and 16.7% lymphopoiesis in Beijing strain patients, 0% and 30% consecutively in non-Beijing strain. The number of thrombocyte is 68-882 (416.3+161.7)x1000 cells/mm3 vs 122–834 (407.0+154.8)x1000 cells/mm3 with thrombocytosis in 63% vs 46%. Beijing strain patients shows anemia, and higher ESR and thrombocytosis. These show that patients infected by Beijing strains experience more severe inflammation.
