Objective: In the present study we investigate the level of subclinical inflammatory markers neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and red blood cell distribution width (RDW) in FMS Method: Included in the study were 98 patients who had been newly diagnosed with FMS according to the 2010 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria and 38 healthy controls. The age, Body Mass Index (BMI), White Blood Cell (WBC), neutrophil, lymphocyte, platelet, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) values of the participants in both groups were recorded, and also the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) scores of the patients Results : There was no statistically significant difference between Groups 1 and 2 with respect to NLR, PLR and RDW values (p>0.05). Conclusions: Blood NLR, PLR and RDW values in patients with FMS have no significance in an investigation of subclinical inflammation.
