Thirty-one serum samples were obtained from patients with AOSD during active or inactive disease and were assayed for calprotectin by ELISA. Clinical and laboratory data related to disease activity and severity were collected at the same time, and systemic scores for disease severity were calculated.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results.<\/jats:title><jats:p>Mean calprotectin levels in patients with AOSD were significantly higher than in controls (57.11 \u00b1 25.38 ng\/ml vs 34.90 \u00b1 4.85 ng\/ml, respectively; p &lt; 0.05). Patients with active AOSD had a significantly higher mean calprotectin level than those with inactive disease (61.26 \u00b1 25.59 ng\/ml vs 35.32 \u00b1 5.90 ng\/ml; p &lt; 0.05). Calprotectin levels decreased significantly after treatment in all 6 patients with AOSD from whom followup samples were obtained (p = 0.028). Serum calprotectin showed strong correlations with serum ferritin (r = 0.686, p &lt; 0.001), lactate dehydrogenase (r = 0.647, p &lt; 0.001), leukocyte count (r = 0.774, p &lt; 0.001), aspartate aminotransferase (r = 0.387, p = 0.042), and C-reactive protein (r = 0.588, p = 0.001), but not with erythrocyte sedimentation rate, arginine aminotransferase, hemoglobin, or platelet count.
