ABSTRACT

Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) is a marker for inflammation in the body. It is the initial test carried out in order to detect infection using Westergrens tube in which ante cubital venous blood is mixed with sodium citrate as an anticoagulant. A study was performed in, pulmonary tuberculosis patients who were taking treatment in hospital and normal young healthy individuals were randomly selected as controls.  They were divided into 3 Groups, Group-1 normal and pulmonary tuberculosis patients, Group-2 before treatment and after treatment, Group-3 contains BMI for Both Groups, mean SD and p values are statistically studied by using anova.   ESR may help to find out the progrnosis of the disease. Determination of ESR after the treatment with anti tubercular drugs helps in determine the effectiveness of the drugs used and there by estimate the prognosis of the disease.

KEY WORDS: (ESR) Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate, Westergreens Method, Pulmonary Tuberculosis, Healthy People, Prognosis.
