We aimed to show the clinical characteristics of children with influenza infection and the relationship between influenza infections and hemogram parameters, neutrophil/ lymphocyte ratio, platelet/lymphocyte ratio, neutrophil/ monocyte ratio, and mean platelet volume. Material and Method:The data of patients who applied to Necmettin Erbakan University Meram Medical Faculty Pediatrics outpatient clinics and had positive rapid influenza test were scanned through the hospital information system. Results:The median age and neutrophil value in the influenza A group were significantly lower than in the influenza B group (p=0.002, p=0.008). The median MPV and monocyte value in the influenza A group were significantly higher than in influenza B (p<0.00, p=0.005). The mean WBC count was found to be significantly higher in hospitalized patients compared to outpatients (p=0.039). There were no significant difference between the groups in terms of NLR, PLR, NMR. Bacteremia was detected significantly more in hospitalized patients compared to outpatients. Underlying chronic diseases were significantly lower in outpatients than in inpatients (p<0.001). Conclusion:There were no difference in the severity of clinical severity between infleunza A and B subgroups and no significant difference was found in terms of hemogram parameters.
