Abstract
This paper deals with the study of comparison of haemorheological parameters between normal controls (NC) and cases of chronic infections (INFC) including tuberculosis. The haemorheological parameters studied include haematocrit, whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, erythrocyte deformability, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and red cell aggregation. Of all the haemorheological parameters the values of haematocrit, red cell aggregation and red cell rigidity index (Tk) are significantly altered.
