Abstract:
This is a case control study carried out in Khartoum state at
Gaffer Ibn
aouf Pediatric Hospital during the period from July
2013 to October 2013 .
Fifty two pediatric diabetic patients were selected for the study
group , 20 healthy pediatric were selected as control group .2.5
ml of venous blood was withdrawn from each participant ,placed
in a test tube containing EDTA which act as anticoagulant .
RBCs, WBCs, PLT, PCV and HB were measured using an
automated hematological analyzer (Sysmex 21). The results were
analyzed by Statistical Package of social Science Program.
The results showed that a significant increase in white blood cells
and
platelets
in
value<0.05) and
ages
groups
(2-5)
and
(10-15)years(
p
a significant decrease in packed cell volume
,hemoglobin ,mean cell volume, mean cell hemoglobin ,mean cell
hemoglobin concentration ,compared to control group in (2-5)age
group with ( p value >0.05) .RBCs insignificantly increased from
control (p value >0.05)
There was no significant deference in hematological parameters
of patients compared to control among age group (5-10)years (p
value >0.05)in all parameters.
The results also showed that there was a significant difference
according to sex ,in male and female patients there was a
significant increase in white blood cells, platelets, packed cell
volume and hemoglobin which decreased significantly (p value
<0.05).

According to disease onset the results showed that there was no
