We read with interest the recent article 'The relationship of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio with gastrointestinal bleeding in Henoch-Schonlein purpura' by Makay et al. (Rheumatol Int. doi: 10.1007/s00296-014-2986-2 , 2014). In their study, researchers aimed to evaluate the relationship between blood neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and gastrointestinal bleeding in children with Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP). In discussion part, the authors concluded that blood NLR may be considered as a useful marker for predicting gastrointestinal bleeding in HSP. We would like to thank Makay et al. for their valuable contribution.
我们饶有兴趣地阅读了Makay等人最近发表的文章《过敏性紫癜中性粒细胞与淋巴细胞比值与胃肠道出血的关系》（《国际风湿病学》。doi:10.1007/s00296-014-2986-2，2014年）。在他们的研究中，研究人员旨在评估过敏性紫癜（HSP）患儿血液中性粒细胞与淋巴细胞比值（NLR）与胃肠道出血之间的关系。在讨论部分，作者得出结论，血液NLR可被视为预测HSP患儿胃肠道出血的有用标志物。我们要感谢Makay等人的宝贵贡献。
