Özet
Background Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP) and cytokines, including serum interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8 and IL-10, and turnout necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) have been proposed as disease activity markers in Behcet's disease (BD), although studies have shown conflicting results for IL-6. Serum procalcitonin (PCT) levels in active 1313 have not yet been investigated.
