Abstract:

The aim of this study was to measure the level of IL-17A in the serum and synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis and correlated its level with disease activity. Patients and methods: One hundred patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, their ages ranged between 20 to 69 years (42.7±SD11.3). Their disease duration ranged from 2 to 23 years (6.8±SD4.1) and fifty age and sex matched control. All patients and control were subjected to clinical, laboratory investigation and measurement of serum IL-17A. And the patients group only were subjected to synovial fluid IL17A by ELISA technique.
