What Causes Low MPV?
In March this year I had an dermoid cyst surgery. The cyst was inflamed so I had constant fever up to 37.5 C (axilliary). After the surgery until now I’m having fever up to 37.5 C but only at night, every night. Doctors said that the cyst is fully taken out. I’m looking for some other posible health problems. I had blood test just recently and everything was ok exept for my MPV fl which is 5,5 and that's lower than normal. Please advise me what to check. And should i worry about the MPV fl.
thanks in advance.

You should not worry about MPV. It is the Mean Platelet Volume. i.e. Average volume of your platelets. Not at all related to your disease. But if you are still having night fever and sweats, check for your Tuberculosis status.
