Mean trombosit volume as a diagnostic indicator in hydatid disease

26971

Objective: Since unilocular hydatid is an infectious disease, it progresses with inflammation. In our study we aimed to search if mean trombosit volume (MPV) which its results were known for inflammatory, the number of trombosit and the number of leukocyte can be used as a diagnose method in unilocular hydatid disease. Methods: In this study, we took out the data of MPV values, the number of leukocyte and Trombosit values of the patients diagnosed as unilocular hydatid disease from archival records between the years 2008 and 2013. Then we formed a control group of the same age and the same gender from people having disease. Results: In our study there were totally 97 patients, 52 patients in patient group and 45 patients in control group. The mean MPV values of patient group was 6.268 ± 0.819 fL, whereas it was 7.370 ± 1.102 fL in the control group. The mean leukocyte number was found as 10007 ± 3542 /mm^3 in patient group and 8419 ± 2927 /mm^3 in the control group. The mean number of platelets was 353470 ± 124900 /mm^3 in the patient group, while it was 307880 ± 89281 /mm^3 in the control group. Conclusion: The significance of decrease in MPV values shows the usability of MPV in diagnosis. As a response to infective diseases and inflammatory conditions, the changes in volumes of platelets can be used as diagnostic factor in antimicrobial and immune answers.
