      Brix, Ninna; Glerup, Mia; Thiel, Steffen; Mistegaard, Clara Elbæk; Skals, Regitze Gyldenholm; Berntson, Lillemor; Fasth, Anders; Nielsen, Susan Mary; Nordal, Ellen Berit; Rygg, Marite; Hasle, Henrik; Albertsen, Birgitte Klug; Herlin, Troels (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-22)
      Objective: Distinction on clinical grounds between acute lymphoblastic leukaemia presenting with arthropathy (ALLarthropathy) and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is difficult, as the clinical and paraclinical signs of leukaemia may be vague. The primary aim was to examine the use of lectin complement pathway proteins as markers to differentiate ALLarthropathy from JIA. The secondary aims were ...

    • A novel serum calprotectin (MRP8/14) particle-enhanced immuno-turbidimetric assay (sCAL turbo) helps to differentiate systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis from other diseases in routine clinical laboratory settings

      Background Differential diagnosis in children with signs of unprovoked inflammation can be challenging. In particular, differentiating systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA) from other diagnoses is difficult. We have recently validated the complex of myeloid-related proteins 8/14 (MRP8/14, also known as S100A8/A9 complex or serum calprotectin) as a helpful biomarker supporting the diagnosis ...
