dc.description.abstractBrucellosis is still an important infectious disease, specially in Turkey. During brucellosis there is an inflammation which causes increase in acute phase reactants. Mean platelet volume (MPV) has been shown as an inflammatory marker in some diseases. Our aim were to assess MPV levels of the patients with Brucellosis. Demographic data of the study groups and their complete blood counting, PLT, MPV, ESR, CRP (C-Reactive Protein) values and serum tube agglutination test (STAT) results were recorded. Before and after treatment MPV levels of 100 patients with brucellosis were evaluated comparing with control group’s MPV levels. The average age of patients was 31.1±15.3 and they were 48 (48%) male and 52 (52 %) female. The average age of control group was 35,2±10,5 and they were of 49 (49 %) male and 51 (51 %) female. ESR, MPV, red cell distribution width (RDW), Hemoglobin (Hgb), CRP, PLT and white blood cell (WBC) values were statistically different among groups. MPV levels and RDW values were significantly lower in the pre-treatment group compared with posttreatment ones. Spearman’s correlation analysis showed a significant negative correlation between CRP and MPV values. MPV levels may be useful in the management of patients with brucellosis. © 2014, Anatolian Journal of Clinical Investigation. All rights reserved.en_US
