The predictive role of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio in children with simple febrile seizures

Aim: To evaluate the predictive roles of biochemical and complete blood count parameters in diagnosis febrile seizures by comparing these between patients with simple without seizures. Methods: One hundred fifty-two children (66 girls 86 boys), aged 6-60 months presenting fever symptoms to our hospital’s pediatric emergency department January 2015 2020 were included study. Demographic data, parameter levels compared two groups. These divided into a patient group (n = 74) control 78). Results: Comparison revealed significantly higher glucose, CRP, ALT seizure group, while Ca Na lower. white cell (WBC), neutrophil, red distribution width, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR) values hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume, lymphocytes, platelet volume lower. Conclusions: We think that addition markers such as WBC, leukocytes, CRP for evaluating inflammation seizures, simple, easily available, inexpensive tests NLR PLR can also be useful assessing inflammation.
