Effect of combined colchicine-corticosteroid treatment on neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio: a predictive marker in Beh çet disease activity

ConclusionCollectively our results suggest that the NLR is a potential marker of BD activity in Algerian patients, predicting the disease severity. Moreover, the positive relationship between the NLR and NO production is related to an increased risk of mucocutaneous lesions and vascular involvement. Thus, the application of these two accessible tools could be benefit for the clinical prognosis and treatment of BD.
