Increasing evidence implicates immune\u2010inflammatory processes in its etiology, with observed associations between ADHD and infectious diseases, allergic conditions, and recent findings involving SARS\u2010CoV\u20102. This study investigated whether early\u2010life inflammatory markers, as measured by routine complete blood counts (CBCs) in clinically healthy 1\u2010year\u2010old children, were associated with subsequent diagnoses of ADHD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective case\u2013control study was conducted using electronic medical records from Leumit Health Services, encompassing children under 18\u2009years between January 1, 2006, and June 30, 2021. The sample included children who underwent routine CBC testing at age one during a well\u2010child visit, without signs of acute illness. ADHD cases were identified based on ICD\u20109\/10 criteria. Controls, free of any ADHD diagnosis, were randomly selected at a 1:2 ratio and matched for age, sex, socioeconomic status, and cultural sector. Analyses included white blood cell (WBC) subtypes and platelet counts, with the calculation of the neutrophil\u2010to\u2010lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the platelet\u2010to\u2010lymphocyte ratio (PLR).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Children who were subsequently diagnosed with ADHD demonstrated statistically significant elevated total WBC counts at age one, including higher neutrophil, eosinophil, and lymphocyte levels, and lower basophil counts compared to matched controls (all\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; .05).
