Follistatin-like protein 1 levels in AOSD were not different from those in RA and controls. IL-18 levels in AOSD (7560.3 \u00b1 7577.6 pg\/ml) were higher than those in RA (217.7 \u00b1 292.1 pg\/ml; p &lt; 0.001) and controls (139.2 \u00b1 86.2 pg\/ml; p &lt; 0.001). The sensitivity and specificity of IL-18 for diagnosing AOSD was highest with a cutoff value of 366.1 pg\/ml. Serum S100A8\/A9 correlated with leukocyte count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, ferritin, and systemic disease score; however, IL-18 correlated only with ferritin and systemic disease score. S100A8\/A9 was decreased after disease activity was resolved in followup of AOSD patients (9.96 \u00b1 7.35 \u03bcg\/ml in active AOSD vs 3.6 \u00b1 4.77 \u03bcg\/ml in resolved cases; p = 0.001).
