7, 8 Furthermore, in reports from several countries, it has been stated that healthy children who have tested positive for COVID-19 are mild, or more often asymptomatic carriers, and thus play a major role in the spread of the disease. 3- 6 However, it has been reported that children and young adults with an underlying disorder, such as impaired pulmonary function or immunosuppression could be at a higher risk of severe COVID-19. 1, 2 Reports published to date have shown that children are rarely affected by COVID-19. COVID-19 is a contagious disease causing a high prevalence of pneumonia in infected individuals.

The coronavirus disease that emerged at the end of 2019 (COVID-19) rapidly became a global public health problem.

The evaluation of MPV and lymphocyte levels together could increase diagnostic success in asymptomatic COVID-19 cases.

The evaluation of MPV and lymphocyte levels together could increase diagnostic success in asymptomatic COVID-19 patients. The results of this study indicate that MPV levels are significantly high in asymptomatic children infected with COVID-19 demonstrate that this is an important predictive value and has better predictive capacity than lymphocyte values. Based on the ROC analysis, the sensitivity and specificity of MPV were determined to be higher than that of lymphocyte levels. A cutoff value of <2.12/mm 3 for lymphocytes (AUC:0.670) was determined with 49.09% sensitivity and 86.67% specificity for the prediction of COVID-19. The optimal cutoff point for MPV was determined as 8.74 fl (Area under the curve-AUC:0.932) with 81.82% sensitivity and 95% specificity for the determination of children infected with COVID-19. The MPV values were determined to be statistically significantly high ( P .05).

Demographic data and clinical findings of all the participants were recorded, including age, gender, weight, temperature, cough, shortness of breath and contact history. The study included 55 children infected with COVID-19 and 60 healthy children for the comparison of leukocyte and thrombocyte count, MPV and serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. To investigate the mean platelet volume (MPV) in asymptomatic children infected with COVID-19.
