Comparing Mean Platelet Volume Values in Patients with Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis and Patients with Behcet-s Disease

Abstract

Objective: Platelets play an important role in the pathogenesis of disorders associated with the local or systemic inflammation. Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a marker for platelet activation, and larger platelets are more activated. In this study, we aimed to investigate MPV values in patients with Behcet-s disease, patients with recurrent aphthous stomatitis, and controls.
