BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To evaluate the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) levels in the peripheral blood of patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and to compare them with levels in patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) and healthy controls. METHODS: Twenty-one patients with probable PSP, 42 with PD, and 40 age-matched healthy volunteers were enrolled in the study. Demographic data and duration of disease, comorbid systemic disease, and smoking status were recorded. NLR was calculated by dividing neutrophil count by the lymphocyte count. RESULTS: The mean age of patients with PSP was 68.28 ± 8.7 years and the mean duration of disease was 5.09 ± 2.52 years. The mean age in PD group was 66.59 ± 9.54 years and 65.05 ± 6.52 years in the healthy volunteer group. There were no significant differences in ages between the PSP group and the other two groups (p = 0.498; p = 0.107, respectively). The PSP group consisted of four female and 17 male patients. The PD group comprised 19 female and 23 male patients. There were 18 female and 2 male in the healthy volunteer group. The mean NLR value in the PSP group was significantly higher than in the PD group and healthy controls (p = 0.023; p = 0.001, respectively). The mean NLR value in the PD group was not significantly different from the healthy controls (p = 0.593). CONCLUSION: NLR values were found higher in the PSP group. The result of this study revealed the existence of peripheral inflammation in patients with PSP.
