Abstract
Objective: To determine the mean serum level of C-reactive protein in moderate and severe acne patients visiting to a tertiary care hospital.
Setting and Duration Study: This study was conducted at Department of Dermatology, Liaquat University of Medical & Health Sciences (LUMHS), Jamshoro, Pakistan, from November 3, 2020 to May 2, 2021.
Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in the Department of dermatology, Liaquat University of Medical & Health Sciences (LUMHS), Jamshoro, from November 3, 2020 to May 2, 2021. An inform consent was also taken prior to the enrolment of patients in the study. The selected participants were referred to the laboratory for hypersensitive-CRP (Hs-CRP) measurement. All the patients of any gender, aged between 16 to 40 years associated with moderate and severe acne duration of more than 3 months were included in this study. Effect modifiers were controlled through stratification of age, gender, duration of acne, and severity of acne (moderate / severe) and these stratified groups were compared by applying independent sample t-test by using P ≤ 0.05 as significant.
Results: Mean ± SD of age was 22.7±5.3 years. Mean ± SD of C-reactive protein was 4.15±1.2 (μg/ml). In distribution of gender, out of 56 patients, 30 (53.6%) were male while 26 (46.4%) were female. Out of 56 patients 21 (37.5%) had moderate acne vulgaris while 35 (62.5%) had severe Acne vulgaris.
Conclusion: It is to be concluded that mean serum level of C-reactive protein in severe acne patients was high as compared to moderate acne patients. Epidemiological and research data should be expanded by further studies to validate the current findings.
