Up-regulation of interleukin 17 (IL-17) family cytokines and acute phase response have been observed in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). It has been demonstrated that IL-17 stimulates C-reactive protein (CRP) expression.
To determine relationship between circulating concentrations of IL-17 and CRP in CSU.
Concentrations of IL-17 in plasma and CRP in serum were measured in patients with CSU of varying severity and in the healthy subjects.
IL-17 and CRP concentrations were significantly higher in CSU patients as compared to the healthy subjects. In addition, there were significant differences in IL-17 and CRP concentrations between CSU patients with mild, moderate-severe symptoms and the healthy subjects. CRP did not correlate significantly with IL-17.
Increased circulating IL-17 concentration may represent an independent index of systemic inflammatory response in CSU, which is not related to increased CRP concentration.
在慢性自发性荨麻疹（CSU）患者中已观察到白细胞介素17（IL-17）家族细胞因子上调和急性期反应。已证实IL-17刺激C反应蛋白（CRP）表达。
确定CSU患者中循环IL-17浓度与CRP之间的关系。
测定不同严重程度的CSU患者血浆中IL-17浓度和血清中CRP浓度，并与健康受试者进行比较。
与健康受试者相比，CSU患者的IL-17和CRP浓度显著更高。此外，轻度、中度至重度症状的CSU患者与健康受试者之间的IL-17和CRP浓度存在显著差异。CRP与IL-17无显著相关性。
循环IL-17浓度升高可能是CSU全身炎症反应的一个独立指标，与CRP浓度升高无关。
