C-reactive protein is a more valuable marker in predicting the severity of complications in measles-affected children compared to blood cells count-derived inflammatory indices

Background/Aim. Measles is a contagious disease with good prognosis; however, severe complications may sometimes develop. C-reactive protein (CRP) and blood cells count-derived inflammatory indices ? granulocyte-lymphocyte ratio (GLR), platelet to lymphocyte (PLR), monocyte (MLR), mean plate-let volume (MPV)/platelet count (MPR), red cell distribution width (RDW), MPV are the indicators related clinical outcome in various diseases. The aim of study was analyze values CRP, count, GLR, PLR, MLR, MPR, RDW, measles-affected children compared healthy controls between complicated severely measles form. A particular paper assess suitability inflammatory-derived markers for predicting severity disease. Methods. included 55 who developed (examination group), while control group 30 children. first peripheral obtained on hospitalization day (before treatment), used further analyses. Results. white cells, lymphocytes, monocytes, platelets were significantly lower, CRP higher (p 0.05). In form, granulocytes, PLR documented, including lower lymphocytes linear regression analysis showed that only indicator predictive significance course measles. Conclusion. should not be crucial assessing most valuable factor development
