The association of platelet count and mean platelet volume (MPV) index with types of stroke

Background: Stroke is known to be the third most prominent cause of death in the developing countries and the most common debilitating neurologic disease. This study aimed to investigate the association of platelet count (PC) and mean platelet volume (MPV) index with various stroke types. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on patients over the age of 18 years who presented wit...

Intravenous thrombolysis and platelet count.

OBJECTIVE To study the effect of platelet count (PC) on bleeding risk and outcome in stroke patients treated with IV thrombolysis (IVT) and to explore whether withholding IVT in PC < 100 × 109/L is supported. METHODS In this prospective multicenter, IVT register-based study, we compared PC with symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH; Second European-Australasian Acute Stroke Study [ECASS I...

Platelet Satellitism in a Three and Half Year Old Girl with Hemolytic Anemia and Normal Platelet Count

Platelet adherence surrounding leucocytes in a rosette formation or platelet satellitism is a rare phenomenon. This finding has been observed almost exclusively in Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid treated blood at room temperature. The mechanism underlying this phenomenon is not fully understood. In many reports of platelet satellitism platelets clump to polymorphonuclear neutrophils in healthy...

Platelet count and platelet indices in women with preeclampsia

BACKGROUND Although the exact pathophysiology of preeclampsia is not completely understood, the utility of different platelets indices can be utilized to predict preeclampsia. OBJECTIVE To compare platelet indices, namely platelet count (PC), mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), and PC to MPV ratio in women with preeclampsia compared with healthy controls. SETTING ...
