Optimal coronary artery disease (CAD) therapy was commenced, and Behcet's disease treatment was intensified with the normalization of C-reactive protein.
However, no difference of CRP (P = 0.219) or ESR (P = 0.320) between AAD patients and controls was observed, and no correlation of CRP (R = -0.150, P = 0.377) or ESR (R = 0.067, P = 0.692) with ascending aortic diameter in total BD patients was discovered either.
Serum levels of IgG antibodies against alpha-enolase are increased in patients with Behçet's disease and are associated with the severity of oral ulcer, erythrocyte sedimentation rates, and C-reactive protein.
The comparison of C-reactive protein and suPAR plasma levels of the control and Behçet's disease group revealed statistically significant differences (respectively, P = 0.003 < 0.05 and P = 0.020 < 0.05).
