Abstract

Malnutrition in tuberculosis patients caused a decreased of immunity system, limited development of lymphoid tissue, decreased plasma complement levels and increased the body’s susceptibility to infection and the severity of infection. Tuberculosis infection has the potential to increase the number of neutrophils and decrease lymphocytes in the blood. An increased neutrophil-lymphocyte rasio indicates systemic inflamation, increasing the severity and risk of retreatment for tuberculosis. This research was conducted to determine the relationship between nutritional status and neutrophil levels and neutrophil lymphocyte rasio in pulmonary tuberculosis patients. This study used a cross-sectional research design involving 40 pulmonary tuberculosis patients. Analysis of the relationship between and nutritional status and neutrophil levels using the Pearson Product Moment statistical test. Analysis of the relationship status and neutrophil lymphocyte rasio using the Spearman Rank statistical test. As many as 70% of respondents had severe malnutrition with an BMI average 17.24 ± 2.03 kg/m2. Most respondents (62,5%) hag high neutrophil levels and 72.5% respondents high neutrophil lymphocyte rasio (NLR). Based on Pearson Product Moment statistical analysis, it is known that there is no significan relationship between nutritional status and neutrophil levels with a pvalue 0f 0.213. The correlation coefficient shows a value of -0.201. Spearman Rank statical analysis shows that there is nosignificant relationship between nutritional status and neutrophil lymphocyte rasio (NLR) with a p value of 0.400. The correlation coefficient shows a value of -0.137. In conclusion, there is no relationship between nutritional status and neutrophil lymphocyte rasio (NLR) in this study.
