title: Normal haematological values in adult Sierra Leonean males in Freetown.
abstract: In this study, we determined normal values for some haematological parameters in male Sierra Leoneans--Haemaglobin concentration (HB), Packed Cell Volume (PCV), White Blood Cell Count (WBC), Red Blood Cell Count (RCC) and Erythrocyte Sedimentation rate (ESR). The result obtained differ significantly from those found in European text books as normal values for these parameters. We recommend that results obtained from this study replace European reference values for male Sierra Leoneans.
