We hypothesized that the excessive inflammation induced the introduction of CECs into the peripheral blood, as patients with KD or SoJIA showed higher levels of inflammatory markers than those with oligo/polyarticular JIA, such as an increased white blood cell count and elevated serum levels of CRP, ferritin, IL-6, IL-18, sTNFR1, and sTNFR2 (Table 1). This evidence concerns the gene CRP and juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
