Platelet Indices in Patients With Gram-Negative and Gram-Positive Sepsis: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study
Our study showed that platelet indices are significantly changed in patients with sepsis. Patients with sepsis have decreased values of PLT and Pct and increased values of MPV, PDW, and P-LCR, indicating an increase in thrombocyte production. Moreover, the results were more prominent in sepsis caused by Gram-negative bacteria compared to sepsis caused by Gram-positive bacteria.
