Can we consider erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein as a severity index in pemphigus vulgaris?
Background: Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) are 2 inflammatory indicators that increase in many pathologic and physiologic conditions. Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is an autoimmune skin disease in which autoantibodies against desmogleins cause acantholysis. In this study we have measured ESR and CRP levels in patients with PV to evaluate the relationship between an ...
متن کاملErythrocyte Sedimentation Rate, C-Reactive Protein and Procalcitonin in Infections of the Spine and Infections in Spinal Cord Injury Patients
The most widely used inflammatory markers are erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT). A review of the literature was done on their application in spinal infections and spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. ESR, CRP and PCT as markers of infection have their uses in various but specific medical
متن کاملC reactive protein: an aid to assessment and monitoring of acute pancreatitis.
An evaluation of C reactive protein as an indicator of the progress of acute pancreatitis has been made, and the data have been compared with the information given by the white cell count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and temperature and by two antiproteases--alpha 1 protease inhibitor and alpha 1 antichymotrypsin. The main value of C reactive protein is to provide a guide to the severity of...
متن کاملCytidine deaminase activity, C reactive protein, histidine, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate as measures of disease activity in psoriatic arthritis.
Cytidine deaminase activity, C reactive protein, histidine, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were measured in 36 subjects with psoriatic arthritis of varying disease duration and severity. Although cytidine deaminase activity may provide an integrated measure of synovial inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis, neutrophil accumulation in psoriatic plaques compromises this measure in psoriatic ar...
متن کاملComparison of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, serum diphenylamine, and tetrammonium tests in rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease.
The difficulty in assessing the activity of the disease process in rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease is apparent from the large number of laboratory tests which have been used from time to time. In a previous study (Eastham, Szekely, and Davison, 1958) we have attempted to assess the value and limitations of the C-reactive protein test as a measure of rheumatic activity in a group of ...
