To elucidate the clinical clues and laboratory characteristics will facilitate the identification of PRP. MethodsA retrospective data collection of clinical and laboratory characteristics of 58 children with PRP was performed between January 2007 and December 2016. ResultsA positive ANA test at lower titers <1:100 was detected in 24.1% of the patients. There was a significant relationship between presence of ANA positivity and migraine in female patients with PRP (p=0.01; p=0.020 respectively). The most common accompanying disorder was migraine which was detected in 37.9% of all patients with PRP. Hemoglobin and serum ferritin levels were significantly lower in PRP patients with migraine (p=0.045; p<0.05, respectively). Additionally, the mean platelet volume (MPV) measurements were significantly higher in patients with migraine compared to those without migraine (p=0.045; p<0.05 respectively). DiscussionThere is limited data concerning childhood PRP. For the first time we showed a high frequency of migraine in childhood PRP. Anemia and high MPV could be the underlying triggering factors of these two episodic diseases. ER -
