Result :Out of total 227 patients 179 (78.85%) were male and the larger prevalence among male patient was among age group 41-50 years (38.54%) and the larger prevalence among female patients was noted between the group 31-40 years (35.41%). The mean Hb level was 9.5g/dl, anaemia was found in 155(68.28%), leukocytosis in 65(28.63%), leucopenia in 5(2.20%), thrombocytosis in 40(17.62%), thrombocytopenia in 12(5.28%), ESR was found to be raised in 223(98.23%). Conclusion: patients infected with TB should be monitored haematologically in this study we found significant association of microscopic tuberculosis positive tuberculosis cases with raised ESR and anaemic patients.
