Blood samples were collected from both groups for evaluation of ascorbic acid values in plasma and blood cells analysis. Mean plasma ascorbic acid values in the infected group were lower than those in the control group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.76 ± 0.19 and 2.00 ± 0.58 mg/dl, respectively);. A decrease in erythrocyte, haemoglobin and haematocrit values and an increase in leukocyte values were determined.
