Abstract
The aim of this paper is to assess Serum Adenosine Deaminase (ADA), Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) and C-Reactive Protein (CRP) levels in patients with Psoriasis. Sixty- four patients with psoriasis were divided into three groups (mild, moderate, and severe) based on PASI scores. PASI score <10 defined psoriasis as mild, between 10 and 20 as moderate, and >20 as severe. The hsCRP was assayed by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay BIOS kit. ADA was measured through kinetic method. ESR was calculated using Westergren method. Group I patients had 8 males (mild), 9 males (moderate) and 10 males (severe) and group II had 20 males. There were 12 females (mild), 14 females (moderate) and 11 females (severe) and group II had 30 females. A non- significant difference was observed (P> 0.05). The mean hSCRP level in group I patients was 54.2 ng/ml and in group II was 19.6 ng/ml. The mean ADA level in group I patients was 22.5 U/L and in group II was 8.1 U/L. The mean ESR was 28.4 mm/h in group I and 13.2 mm/h in group II. A significant difference was observed (P< 0.05). This study demonstrated higher hSCRP, ESR and ADA level among patients suffering from psoriasis compared to healthy control.
