Abstract

The study included 360 samples collected during the period between
October 2005 to March 2006. They were divided into four main groups namely;
adolescents, pregnant women in third trimester, women during delivery and
their newborn. Each group consisted of 90 subjects. It was carried out to
determine the hematological variables using the routine examination methods
The following results were obtained :
There was a decrease in the level of hemoglobin in pregnant women
and delivery women but increased in newborn .
There was a decrease in the total white blood cells among adolescents
and delivery women .The neutrophils level was the highest but it was at the
lowest level in pregnant women and delivery women .
The highest ratios of reticulocytes counts were among newborn while
the lowest ratios were among adolescents.
Platelets rates significantly decreased in the two groups of pregnant
women in comparison with adolescents and new born.
We conclude that the hematological examinations results were varies
according to the physiological conditions of each group.
