Repeated polyserositis, another name for familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), is an autoimmune disorder with an autosomal recessive nature primarily characterized by short-lived repeated periods of peritonitis, pleuritis, and arthritis, generally accompanied by fever.
Our participants were divided into two groups. Group I (patients): 100 individuals who were diagnosed as patients with FMF and were monitored. Group II (control): matched- healthy individuals (100 controls). They were compared and followed up as regards demographic, clinical, and laboratory data: routine investigations, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and mean platelet volume (MPV), red cell distribution width (RDW), C-reactive protein (CRP), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR).
Group I: MPV mean was 12.03±2.89, whereas group II MPV mean was 7.74±0.57. MPV was significantly statistically greater in group I than in group II. RDW mean in group I was 17.07±1.39 and in group II was 12.92±0.63. RDW was also significantly statistically greater in group I compared with group II. Group I's NLR mean was 3.05±0.71, whereas group II's NLR mean was 1.75±0.2. PLR mean in group I was 164.8±122.8 and in group II was 111.26±29.16.
A statistically significant association was shown between the diagnosis of adult FMF and NLR, PLR, MPV, and RDW.
复发性多浆膜炎，即家族性地中海热（FMF）的别称，是一种常染色体隐性自身免疫性疾病，主要特征为短暂反复发作的腹膜炎、胸膜炎和关节炎，通常伴有发热。
我们的参与者被分为两组。第一组（患者组）：100名被诊断为FMF的患者并接受监测。第二组（对照组）：匹配的健康个体（100名对照）。对他们的人口统计学、临床和实验室数据进行比较和随访：常规检查、中性粒细胞/淋巴细胞比值（NLR）、血小板淋巴细胞比值（PLR）、平均血小板体积（MPV）、红细胞分布宽度（RDW）、C反应蛋白（CRP）和红细胞沉降率（ESR）。
第一组：MPV平均值为12.03±2.89，而第二组MPV平均值为7.74±0.57。第一组的MPV在统计学上显著高于第二组。第一组的RDW平均值为17.07±1.39，第二组为12.92±0.63。与第二组相比，第一组的RDW在统计学上也显著更高。第一组的NLR平均值为3.05±0.71，而第二组的NLR平均值为1.75±0.2。第一组的PLR平均值为164.8±122.8，第二组为111.26±29.16。
成人FMF的诊断与NLR、PLR、MPV和RDW之间存在统计学上的显著关联。
