Article Description

Cancer and cancer therapy result in complications that reduce the ability of the immune system to resist infections. The present study was conducted in patients with malignant cancer and leukaemia from Basrah specialist children's hospital auditors of children infected with E. histolytica. Total white blood cell (WBC) count, haemoglobin (Hb) concentration, packed cell volume (PCV) and platelet (thrombocyte) count were examined; these parameters were shown to be lower in patients with cancer than in those infected with E. histolytica and healthy children. Patients with cancer had chronic or repeated infections with E. histolytica. Reduction in WBC count, Hb concentration, PCV and thrombocyte count in patients with cancer, particularly leukaemia, was a result of cancer and chemotherapy side effects that results in severe deficiencies in blood parameters of the treated patients with cancer.
