Diagnostic performance of routine blood parameters in periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and adenitis syndrome.

Background: We aimed to investigate the difference between PFAPA and streptococcal tonsillitis (Strep Pharyngitis) by using blood parameters. We want to evaluate the relationship between periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, adenitis (PFAPA) syndrome, and tonsillitis by using NLR.

Methods: The data of 141 pediatric patients who had applied to our clinic between October 2016 and March 2019 and were diagnosed with PFAPA syndrome and tonsillitis were reviewed from hospital records.

Evaluation of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels: two different methods.

Anti-SLA and AMA-positive celiac disease: A report of two cases and evaluation of autoimmune liver serology.

Antibodies to soluble liver antigen (anti-SLA) and anti-mitochondrial autoantibodies (AMA) are two specific serological markers of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). They are rarely detected in the sera of patients with non-liver autoimmune disorders. The biochemical, serological, and histological findings of two celiac disease (CD) patients who were seropositive for anti-SLA and/or AMA were evaluated.
