The results demonstrate high significant difference in WBC, neutrophil, and ESR of AA patients compared with the control groups. There is no significant difference in lymphocyte of AA patients compared with control groups. A significant decrease in the MPV of AA patients compared with negative control group and no significant differences with positive group.
