Aim: to evaluate the role of laboratory biomarkers in monitoring effectiveness of rituximab (RTM) biosimilar therapy in a total dose of 1200 mg. Materials and methods. 20 patients (pts) with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (18 woman, mean age 61.5(54-66.5) years, mean disease duration 39.5(20-84) months, mean DAS28 5.6(4.9-6.8)) received two intravenous RTM biosimilar infusions (600 mg №2) in combination with DMARDs and glucocorticoids. Laboratory biomarkers were assessed at baseline and weeks 12 and 24 after the first infusion of RTX. Results. RTM biosimilar induced decreases in DAS28, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP) at week 12 and 24, p

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of C-reactive protein (CRP), Total Leukocyte Count(TLC) and Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) levels as diagnostic and prognostic indicators in patientsdiagnosed with maxillofacial odontogenic infections.Materials and Methods: A prospective study was done among 30 patients with maxillofacial odontogenicinfections. Blood samples were collected at 3 intervals to detect the level of the study parameters followedby incision and drainage for all the patients under Local anesthesia.Results: The mean CRP, TLC and ESR levels gradually reduced on 5th post-operative day as compared today 1 and 3 suggestive of resolution of the infectious state.Conclusion: We conclude that CRP is required only in selective cases of maxillofacial infection wheremonitoring under intensive care will be required, else TLC alone is sufficient to indicate the presence ofinfection along with adequate medical and surgical care.

BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of osteomyelitis is a key step of diabetic foot management. Procalcitonin (PCT) is a novel infection marker. This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic value of procalcitonin and other conventional infection markers and clinical findings in diagnosis of osteomyelitis in diabetic foot patients. METHODS AND MATERIALS: This diagnostic value study was carried out on ninety patients with diabetic infected foot ulcers admitted in Kashan Beheshti Hospital, 2016. After obtaining consent, 10 cc blood sample was taken for measuring serum PCT, CBC, ESR, CRP and FBS. Clinical characteristics of the wounds were noted. Magnetic resonance imaging of the foot was performed in all patients to diagnose osteomyelitis. All statistical analyses were done with the use of SPSS-16. RESULTS: PCT levels were 0.13 ± 0.02 ng/mili patients with osteomyelitis (n= 45) and 0.04 ± 0.02 ng/ml in patients without osteomyelitis (n= 45). PCT, Erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein was found significantly higher in patients with osteomyelitis (p< 0.001). The ROC curve was calculated for PCT. The area under the ROC curve for infection identification was 1 (p< 0.001). The best cut-off value for PCT was 0.085 ng/ml. Sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values were 100%, 97.8%,97.8% and 100%, respectively. CONCLUSION: In this group of patients, PCT was useful to discriminate patients with bone infection. Also, Erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein can be used as a marker of osteomyelitis in diabetic patients.
