he aim of this study was to study mean platelet volume (MPV) in neonatal
septicemia. In 40 cases of clinically suspected neonatal septicemia, the
baseline MPV level was evaluated to determine septicemia in which 65% of
cases had baseline MPV levels (≥10.35 fl) and 35% of cases had baseline
levels (<10.35 fl). The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive
values of MPV (≥10.35 fl) in neonatal septicemia was 94.7%, 61.9%, 69.2%
and 92.9% with the accuracy of 77.5%. So, the baseline MPV value of ≥10.35
fl, relied on higher sensitivity, NPV and good accuracy, and is useful as a
screening, auxiliary test in addition to CRP at both diagnosis and response
to anti-microbial treatment in neonatal septicemia. As for the outcomes of
septicemia, significant relation was noted between normal outcomes and
eleven babies (64.7%) with low MPV levels (<10.35 fl) (P=0.001). Twelve
babies (92.31%) who suffered from severe parenchymal lung disease also had
significantly higher MPV levels (≥10.35 fl) (P=0.031). Therefore, higher MPV
levels were found to be related to severe parenchymal lung disease and lower
MPV levels to normal outcomes.
