It is advisable to continue to enrol more patients in the study so that in the future, we can add results on the diagnostic accuracy of the NLR and MPV in the timely diagnosis of bacterial infection in patients with COVID-19.enMean platelet volumeMedicineInternal medicineNeutrophil to lymphocyte ratioLymphocyteMicrobiological cultureMann–Whitney U testCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)GastroenterologyWilcoxon signed-rank testNeutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and mean platelet volume in the diagnosis of bacterial infections in COVID-19 patients.
