- Abstract
AIM: To determine the changes in the mean platelet volume (MPV) levels of the babies who were hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit due to the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. It was also aimed to assess whether these changes were related to the severity of the disease, length of hospital stay, and Silverman Anderson respiratory severity score. MATERIAL AND METHOD: The patients in the study group were formed from the retrospective data of newborn babies at ≥34 weeks of gestation who were hospitalized with the diagnosis of RSV in the neonatal intensive care unit. The control group consisted of healthy newborns without RSV infection. MPV values of the subjects were compared between the groups with and without RSV. RESULTS: The MPV level in the group with RSV was significantly lower than the control group (p <0.05). No relationship was found between the MPV level of the patients in the RSV group and the number of days of hospitalization, the number of days they received respiratory support, respiratory support need (oxygen, noninvasive and invasive ventilation), hemoglobin levels and Silverman Anderson scoring (p> 0.05). CONCLUSION: We found that infection with RSV in newborns was associated with a decrease in the MPV.
