Conclusions
MPV is a simple parameter provided mostly by readily available automatic
hematology analyser. The data obtained in the current study demonstrated
that MPV values in COVID-19 patients were significantly higher and MPV
was a reliable marker in the differentiation of asymptomatic children
infected with COVID-19 from healthy children. Nevertheless, there is a
need for further studies with larger patient populations to fully
determine the role of MPV values in patients with COVID-19.
