Description
Summary:To explore the value of blood routine examination indexes in the differential diagnosis of immunoglobulin A vasculitis (IgAV) with abdominal involvement and appendicitis in children. Forty-seven patients with IgAV and abdominal involvement, 95 cases with appendicitis, and 48 healthy children were enrolled in this study. Demographic and laboratory data were retrospectively recorded from medical files. The levels of serum percentage of lymphocytes (LYM%), percentage of eosinophils (E%), red cell volume distribution width (RDW) and platelet (PLT) count were higher, while blood cells (WBC) count, percentage of neutrophils (N%), percentage of monocytes (M%), mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width and C-reactive protein were lower in the group of IgAV with abdominal involvement compared to appendicitis group ( P
