Increased Mean Platelet Volume in Behçet's Disease with Thrombotic Tendency

Mean platelet volume, red cell distribution width, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and platelet to lymphocyte ratio in the diagnosis acute appendicitis

“…A relationship among the increase of leukocyte count and appendicitis diagnosis have been shown. It has been reported that in cases with AA, the sensitivity of leukocyte is between 60-87%, and specificity 53-100% (22). In agreement with the literature, we observed that leukocyte count was significantly higher in AA compared to healthy subjects.…”

Is Mean Platelet Volume Increased in Behcet's Disease with Thrombosis?

“…In contrast, Acikgoz et al (2010) reported that MPV was higher in patients with BD than in controls, which is the opposite of our results. They also argued that MPV was larger in patients with thrombosis than those without thrombosis, but our results showed no difference in MPV.…”

“…In the meanwhile, we read the article by Acikgoz and colleagues on the increased MPV in Behcet's disease (BD) with thrombotic tendency (Acikgoz et al 2010). In this article, the authors stated that MPV was significantly higher in patients with BD compared to the control groups.…”

Evaluation of mean platelet volume and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio as a diagnostic indicator in patients with recurrent aphthous stomatitis

“…It correlates well to platelet function and activation and is stated to be a significant indicator of inflammation in chronic diseases. [5][6][7]25] The relationship between MPV and Behçet's disease was shown in a study by Acikgoz et al [26] Immunological mechanisms play a major role in the etiopathogenesis of Behçet's and RAS diseases. Hypersensitivity of T lymphocytes to a variety of antigens plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of these diseases.…”
