Abstract
The aim of the current study was to evaluate neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and the levels of IL-6, TNF- \(\alpha\) in patients with schizophrenia after six weeks of antipsychotic treatment with Risperidone and Clozapine. Total study sample of 50 subjects of schizophrenia patients and 50 apparently healthy subjects aged 25-60 years were recruited in this study. The cytokines 6 were measured by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay. The results showed increase in WBC (P=0.001), absolute neutrophil (P=0.000), NLR (P=0.025), IL-6 (P=0.000) and no significant difference in TNF- \(\alpha\) (P=0.059) and no significant difference in absolute lymphocyte of schizophrenia patients before treatment compared to after treatment In conclusion, there were significantly higher values in IL-6, WBC and Neutrophil levels of schizophrenic drug naïve subjects when compared with schizophrenic treated subjects. Tumour Necrosis Factor - alpha serum levels among schizophrenic drug naïve subjects and schizophrenic drug treated subjects showed similar mean values.
