Abstract

Abstract

Aim. Brucellosis is a multisystemic infectious disease. An inflammatory process occurs in brucellosis which causes increase in acute phase reactants. Mean platelet volume (MPV) has been shown as an inflammatory marker in some diseases. In this study we searched the MPV levels of brucellosis patients. Method. MPV levels of forty-seven patients with brucellosis were evaluated. Results. We included a total of 47 brucellosis patients having an average age of 47.4±14.6 and sex distribution of 21 (44,7%) male and 26 (55,3%) female and also 47 control healthy subjects having an average age of 45,2±12,3 and sex distribution of 25 (53,2%) male and 22 (46,8%) female). Erythrocte sedimentation rate (ESR), MPV, red cell distribution width (RDW), Hemoglobin (Hgb) and white blood cell(WBC) values in pre-treatment stage were statistically different from after treatment period. MPV levels were significantly lower in the pretreatment group. Similarly RDW values were lower in pretreatment group. MPV levels of patients were not diffrent in the acute and subacute stage. There was not any significant difference in the MPV levels of patients with hepatomegaly and without hepatomegaly (MPV levels of patients with splenomegaly were lower than patients without splenomegaly Spearman’s correlation analysis showed a significant negative correlation between STAT (serum tube agglutination test) and MPV values. Conclusion. MPV levels may be useful in the follow-up of brucellosis patients.

Özet

Amaç. Bruselloz multisistemik bir enfeksiyon hastalığıdır. Brusellozda akut faz reaktanlarının artmasına neden olan inflamatuar bir süreç izlenmektedir. Mean platelet volume (MPV)’ nin bazı hastalıklarda inflamasyonu gösteren bir değer olduğu gösterilmiştir. Bu çalışmada bruselloz hastalarının MPV düzeylerini araştırmayı amaçladık. Yöntem. Kırkyedi brusella hastasının MPV düzeyleri incelendi. Bulgular. Çalışmamıza yaş ortalaması 47,4±14,6 olan, 21 (%44,7) erkek, 26 (%55,3) kadın,toplam 47 bruselloz hastası ve yaş ortalaması 45,2±12,3 olan 25 (%53,2) erkek, 22 (%46,8) kadından oluşan 47 kişilik kontrol grubu dahil edildi. Tedavi öncesi ve tedavi sonrası eritrosit sedimentasyon hızı (ESR), MPV, red cell distribution width (RDW), hemoglobin (Hgb), beyaz küre (WBC) değerleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık mevcuttu. Tedavi öncesi MPV düzeyleri anlamlı olarak düşüktü. Benzer şekilde tedavi öncesi RDW değerlerinde de anlamlı düşüklük saptandı. Akut ve subakut faz arasında MPV düzeyleri açısından farklılık saptanmadı. Hepatomegali olan ve olmayan grupta da MPV düzeyleri açısından belirgin bir fark yoktu. Splenomegalisi olan hastaların MPV düzeyleri splenomegalisi olmayan hastalara göre daha düşük idi. Spearman korelasyonu, STAT (serum tube agglutination test) ve MPV arasında anlamlı negatif bir korelasyon gösterdi. Sonuç. MPV düzeyleri bruselloz hastalarının takibinde kullanışlı bir tetkik olabilir.
