The Relationship Between Disease Activity And ASO And CRP Levels In Behçet’s Disease

Öz

Objective: Behçet’s disease (BD) is a complex inflammatory condition affecting multiple systems, with an unclear etiology. Since BD is characterised by remissions and attacks, there is no specific marker that accurately reflects the severity of the disease. The objective of this study was to examine the correlation between C-reactive protein (CRP) and antistreptolysin-O (ASO) levels and disease activity in BD patients. Materials and methods: Our study was retrospective. The files of patients with BD who were admitted to our dermatology clinic between January 2023 and January 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Socio-demographic characteristics, CRP and ASO levels were recorded and the relationship with disease activity was analyzed. Behçet’s Disease Current Activity Form (BDCAF) was used to assess Behçet’s disease activity. The study data were analyzed using SPSS V20 (Released 2018, IBM, NY, USA) software. Results: The study included 100 patients with BD. 71% (n=71) of the patients were female. The mean age was 37.9±13.1 years for females and 34.5±9.8 years for males. Oral aphthae were found in 94%, genital ulcers in 70%, and papulopustular lesions in 68% of patients with BD. Neurological, gastrointestinal and vascular involvement were less common. Of the 100 patients with Behçet’s disease, 4% (n=4) had central nervous system involvement, 1% had gastrointestinal system involvement and 4% (n=4) had vascular system involvement. Eye involvement was detected in 5 male patients and 17 female patients. The Pathergy test was positive in 40% (n=40) of the patients. The mean ASO value of patients with active Behçet’s disease were 157.65 IU/ml, which was statistically more significant than the ASO values of patients with inactive Behçet’s disease (p<0.05). Mean CRP levels in patients with active Behçet’s disease were 4.39 mg/L. It was statistically higher than the mean CRP levels of inactive Behçet’s patients. ASO and CRP levels were statistically significantly correlated with disease activity (p<0.05). No statistically significant difference was found between ASO levels and age, whereas the relationship between CRP levels and age was statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusions: Our study demonstrated a statistically significant correlation between ASO and CRP levels and BD activity. We suggest that serum ASO and CRP levels should be routinely checked in patients with BD to assess disease activity and to identify the presence of infection as a potential triggering factor.
