The Editor
Sir, We have previously reported that mean platelet volume (MPV) is decreased in nasal polyp patients compared to control subjects (1). First of all, we agree with Erdur et al that MPV has not been fully elucidated as an inflammatory marker in certain circumstances. The biological and prognostic value of MPV is still controversial (2) and needs to be validated with prospective randomized controlled trials. However, this retrospective study could be the first step to larger studies aimed at observing the relationship between MPV and inflammation. We also accept that results of MPV studies represent the probability and not the absolute consequences. Methodologies of many studies in literature that observed association between MPV and inflammation are quite similar
