Objective:  The percentage of large unstained cells (%LUCs) reflects peroxidase-negative cells and activated lymphocytes. Unlike other infections, the value of %LUCs in the diagnosis of fungal infections is not clear. We aimed to evaluate %LUCs and its correlations with other inflammatory parameters of invasive aspergillosis (IA) patients.    Methods:  Twenty patients and 20 healthy participants were included. Full blood count parameters including %LUCs values were recorded. Platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte to lymphocyte ratio (MLR), eosinophil to lymphocyte ratio (ELR) were calculated.    Results:  There was a significant difference between the study groups for %LUCs [2.40 (2.22–3.25); 1.43 (1.25–2.10), respectively; p 0.05).    Conclusion:  The %LUCs values were significantly increased and correlated with markers of inflammation in patients. We suggest that the %LUCs is a useful predictor and may be an aid in the diagnosis and/or the management of IA and may help clinicians for follow up these patients in therapy process. Our study provides target pathways for further studies in the diagnosis of  Aspergillus -infected patients using inflammatory parameters.
