Background Henoch-Schonlein purpura is a systemic small-vessel vasculitis that occurs mainly in children. A review of the literature has suggested a correlation between mean platelet volume and several inflammatory disorders. However, to the best of our knowledge, any potential correlation between mean platelet volume and Henoch-Schonlein purpura has not been reported in the literature. Therefore, our study aimed to evaluate the role of mean platelet volume concentrations in patients with Henoch-Schonlein purpura. Methods This study included 97 children with Henoch-Schonlein purpura and 120 healthy individuals as controls. Results Mean platelet volume concentrations were found to be significantly lower in Henoch-Schonlein purpura patients compared with healthy controls (8.1 ± 0.86 vs. 9.4 ± 0.81, P < 0.001). Similarly, significant negative correlations were observed between mean platelet volume and neutrophil count, platelet count and erythrocyte sedimentation rate in patients with Henoch-Schonlein purpura (r=−0.327, P = 0.001; r=−0.419, P < 0.001; r=−0.255, P = 0.012). Interestingly, mean platelet volume was significantly lower in the acute phase compared with the convalescent phase of Henoch-Schonlein purpura patients (7.8 ± 0.86 vs. 8.3 ± 0.77, P = 0.002). A cut-off value for mean platelet volume was 7.85 with area under the curve of 0.726 to identify acute phase vs. convalescent phase in patients with Henoch-Schonlein purpura. Mean platelet volume was independently associated with Henoch-Schonlein purpura in logistic regression analysis (odds ratio = 0.114, 95% confidence interval = 0.053–0.243, P < 0.001). Conclusions Our results suggest that mean platelet volume is inversely associated with disease in patients with Henoch-Schonlein purpura, and mean platelet volume may be a useful marker to identify active disease in Henoch-Schonlein purpura patients.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic role of mean platelet volume (MPV) for acute appendicitis. Methods: Patient files were retrospectively observed. MPV of 311 patients with pathological diagnosis of acute appendicitis were compared with the MPV of 314 healthy children (blood samples were taken for elective operations). SPSS (IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 20.0. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp.) was used to evaluate the results. Results: 188 of acute appendicitis were male (%60.5). Mean age of acute appendicitis group was 10.22±3.83. MPV of children with the diagnosis of acute appendicitis (8.37±0.83fL) and the control group (10.55±0.83fL). MPV values were statistically different between the acute appendicitis and control group (p<0,001). Conclusion: MPV may be used as a marker for the diagnosis of acute appendicitis, but it is not a specific biomarker for appendicitis.
