Abstract
To the editor
We read with great interest the research article by Kader et al. [1] entitled with evaluation of mean platelet volume (MPV) levels in brucellosis patients. They retrospectively investigated the complete blood count parameters in patients with brucellosis. They found that MPV values were statistically significantly low in pre-treatment group compared with post-treatment group and healthy controls. They suggested that MPV levels might be useful in the follow-up of brucellosis patients. We would like to comment on this study.
