Introduction: The abdominal trauma is an important cause of morbility and mortality, abdomen is the 3th zone of human anatomy more affected by traumatism that require surgery and hospitalization. Evaluation of penetrating abdominal trauma aims to identify patients that requires surgical treatment. Objective: The objective of this study was to compare white blood cells levels in patients with penetrating abdominal trauma isolated and associated with osseous and/or thoracic injury. Patients and methods:  A transversal study comparing two groups of abdominal penetrating trauma patients; penetrating abdominal trauma isolated versus penetrating abdominal trauma associated with osseous and or thoracic injury. We examined the level of white blood cells as a factor associated with major injury. Results: Our study showed a difference in mean of white blood cells count between the two groups that was statistically significant (p=0.01). A positive relationship between penetrating abdominal trauma associated with osseous and or thoracic injury was found. Conclusion: A significant elevation in white blood cells count in penetrating abdominal trauma associated with osseous and or thoracic injury is observed in comparison with penetrating abdominal trauma isolated.
