Abstract
ABSTRACT Purpose To compare serum thyroid hormone, vitamin B12, vitamin D3, folic acid, and ferritin levels between chalazion patients and control. Methods 18–65-year-old chalazion patients and controls were included. The peripheric blood sampling results were investigated. Free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), vitamin B12, vitamin D3, folic acid, and ferritin levels of chalazion and control groups were compared. Results The male-to-female ratio was 41/107 in chalazion group and 52/106 in control group (p > .05).The mean age was 37.123 ± 13.252 years (18–65) and 39.912 ± 13.747 years (18–65) in the groups, respectively (p > .05).The mean value of vitamin B12 was 304.894 ± 131.592 pg/mL (122.700–985.300) in chalazion group and 353.200 ± 184.341 pg/mL (134.800–1127.000) in control group (p = .038).The mean values of FT3, FT4, TSH, vitamin D3, folic acid, and ferritin levels were similar between the groups (p > .05 for all). Conclusion This study reports that chalazion patients have less serum vitamin B12 level than healthy subjects.
