Serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) were determined in 9 patients with childhood dermatomyositis. Four children were seen during clinical relapse and all had serum CRP levels less than 1 mg/l. In addition direct immunofluorescent staining of muscle biopsies from 4 patients showed no evidence of CRP deposition in muscle tissue. Such patients appear to be able to produce CRP in response to acute infections, and it is suggested therefore that the pathological process in childhood dermatomyositis may not induce a significant CRP response.
对9例儿童皮肌炎患者测定了血清C反应蛋白(CRP)水平。4名儿童处于临床复发期,其血清CRP水平均低于1mg/L。此外,对4例患者的肌肉活检进行直接免疫荧光染色,结果显示肌肉组织中无CRP沉积迹象。这类患者似乎能够对急性感染产生CRP,因此提示儿童皮肌炎的病理过程可能不会引起显著的CRP反应。
