摘要: The aim of this study was to elucidate serum levels IL-6, IL-8, TNF-a, CRP, and HSP 70 in patients with active or inactive Behcet's disease. Materials methods: included 50 who met the International Study Group criteria for Of these, 26 had disease 24 control group comprised 25 age- sex-matched healthy participants. Serum were measured. Results: In disease, significantly higher mean CRP found compared controls (overall, P < 0.05). level than that (P = 0.02). it but a significance close 0.05 0.044). However, did not differ between 0.93). Conclusion: results our suggest are increased both groups controls, though significant only group.
