Differences in Mean Platelet Volume and Platelet Count between Children with Simple and Complex Febrile Seizures

OBJECTIVE: The aim of our study was to find the relationship of MPV (Mean Platelet Volume) levels and platelet counts as markers of inflammation between simple and complex febrile seizures. MATERIALS & METHODS: In this retrospective comparative study, we investigated the recordings of 356 childr...

description OBJECTIVE: The aim of our study was to find the relationship of MPV (Mean Platelet Volume) levels and platelet counts as markers of inflammation between simple and complex febrile seizures. MATERIALS & METHODS: In this retrospective comparative study, we investigated the recordings of 356 children between 5 months and 6 yr with diagnosis of simple and complex febrile seizure (SFS&CFS) in Amircola’s Children’s Hospital, Babol University of Medical Sciences, Babol, Iran between Mar 2011 and Dec 2015. RESULTS: Mean age was similar in two groups. The MPV of the CFS group (8.32±0.48fl) was lower than that of the SFS group (8.58±0.34fl) but this difference was not significant statistically. The platelet count of the CFS group (315.03×103 ±117.17×103) was higher than that of SFS group (291.82×103 ± 87.49×103) but there was no significant statistical difference. CONCLUSION: We did not find significant differences between two groups. Therefore, further studies about this idea should be performed.
