The severity of inflammation in major neuropsychiatric disorders: comparison of neutrophil–lymphocyte and platelet–lymphocyte ratios between schizophrenia, bipolar mania, bipolar depression, major depressive disorder, and obsessive compulsive disorder

As non-specific markers of immune dysregulation, neutrophil-lymphocyte and platelet-lymphocyte ratios (NLR and PLR) have been consistently shown to be increased in major neuropsychiatric disorders. Although this increase seems to be trans-diagnostic, the extent to which its magnitude differs between disorders remains largely unclear.The aim of this study was to directly compare the severity of inflammation (as reflected by NLR and PLR) between...
