Fifteen healthy individuals without any evidence of chronic inflammatory disease depended as control. Subjects of this study were investigated importance of measuring the blood parameters in hepatitis B patients, and detection of the patient's immune response against viral infection.The obtained results showed that 50 were seropositive hepatitis B in ELISA technique. , the age groups (32-41) and (42-51) years showed a highly significant (P<0.05) elevation in patients than other patients. In contrast white blood cell count indicate that the age groups (12 – 21) and (42 – 51) years recorded high significant difference (p<0.05) compared with healthy groups and other patients while Lymphocyte and monocyte percentage increase in in more groups of patients suffering from hepatitis B compared with healthy control group specific in age groups (42 – 51) and (52 – 61) years in comparison to other patients. In the other hand the result of granulocytes, the basophilis showing high – significant (p<0.05) increase in patients group as compared to healthy control group and other granulocytes.
