A Correlative Study between Platelet Count, Mean Platelet Volume and Red Cell Distribution Width with the Disease Severity Index in Psoriasis Patients.

Introduction: Platelet activation is presumed to play an important role in the immunoinflammatory reactions. Several recent studies on a variety of inflammatory disorders have used Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) as a marker for platelet activation.

Aim: To determine the relationship between haematological parameters and disease severity index in psoriasis patients.
