PFAPA (periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, cervical adenitis) syndrome is an autoinflammatory disorder of unknown etiology. The aim of our study was to evaluate whether the presence of anti-mCRP autoantibodies (anti-mCRP) might possibly contribute to systemic inflammation during PFAPA flares. We carried out anti-mCRP testing (in-house ELISA) in a single-center, prospective cohort of 30 PFAPA patients (12 girls). We found a high prevalence (43.3%) of anti-mCRP antibodies in PFAPA patients during their febrile episodes, which implies the possible involvement of anti-mCRP antibodies in PFAPA pathogenesis.
PFAPA(周期性发热、阿弗他口炎、咽炎、颈淋巴结炎)综合征是一种病因不明的自身炎症性疾病。我们研究的目的是评估抗修饰C反应蛋白自身抗体(anti-mCRP)的存在是否可能在PFAPA发作期间导致全身炎症。我们在一个单中心前瞻性队列中对30例PFAPA患者(12名女孩)进行了抗mCRP检测(内部酶联免疫吸附测定)。我们发现PFAPA患者在发热期抗mCRP抗体的患病率很高(43.3%),这意味着抗mCRP抗体可能参与了PFAPA的发病机制。
