Abstract EN
Background.
Hepatic hydatid cyst infection is caused by microorganisms named Echinococcus which belong to family Taeniidae.
Platelets are considered as a mediator in inflammation and infectious diseases because of the various proinflammatory substances that they contain.
Design and Methods.
Thirty-three patients who were admitted to Doğubayazıt State Hospital’s General Surgery Clinic with a diagnosis of hepatic cyst hydatid were enrolled in this retrospective study.
Laboratory data of the patients in pre- and postoperative periods were obtained from computerized medical records database of the hospital.
Results.
Preoperative mean platelet volume (MPV) of the patients was significantly increased compared to postoperative MPV values.
Conclusion.
We claim that MPV is a useful follow-up marker after surgery in patients with hydatid cyst.
