Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship between vitamin D status and the inflammatory state in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria
A. Grzanka,Edyta Machura,Bogdan Mazur,Maciej Misiołek,Jerzy Jochem,Jacek Kasperski,Alicja Kasperska-Zajac +6 more
TL;DR: CSU is associated with lower serum 25(OH)D concentration and higher prevalence of its deficiency, and the results failed to show any effect of vitamin D status on circulating CRP concentrations in CSU.
Journal ArticleDOI
The association between platelet count and acute phase response in chronic spontaneous urticaria.
Alicja Kasperska-Zając,A. Grzanka,Jerzy Jarzab,Maciej Misiołek,Magdalena Wyszyńska-Chłap,Jacek Kasperski,Edyta Machura +6 more
TL;DR: It seems that simple determination of platelet size indices is not a reliable indicator of CSU severity/activity, and acute phase response in CSU is associated with the increased number of circulating platelets in patients with more severe symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Staphylococcus aureus skin colonization in atopic dermatitis children is associated with decreased IFN-gamma production by peripheral blood CD4+ and CD8+ T cells.
TL;DR: Both CD4+ and CD8+ memory T cells are involved in the immunopathogenesis of AD, and S. aureus skin colonization is related with disease severity and changes in expression of CD45RO and CD25 on T cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased serum complement C3 and C4 concentrations and their relation to severity of chronic spontaneous urticaria and CRP concentration
TL;DR: Serum C3 and C4 concentrations were significantly increased in CU patients as compared with the healthy subjects and exceed the normal lab range by about 5% and 10%, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of procalcitonin and CRP concentrations in serum of patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria.
Alicja Kasperska-Zajac,A. Grzanka,Edyta Machura,Bogdan Mazur,Maciej Misiołek,Eugeniusz Czecior,Jacek Kasperski,Jerzy Jochem +7 more
TL;DR: PCT should be considered as a better marker than CRP to distinguish between APR to infection and an active non-specific urticarial inflammation, and may be only slightly elevated in some severe CU cases.
