(1,3)-Béta-D-Glucan Levels at Diagnosis of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis and Its Correlation With Activity's Disease : a Cohort Sudy

The JADAS includes the following four measures: physician's global assessment of disease activity, measured on a 0-10 visual analog scale (VAS) where 0 = no activity and 10 = maximum activity; parent global assessment of well-being, measured on a 0-10 VAS where 0 = very well and 10 = very poor; the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), normalized to a 0 to 10 scale; and a count of joints with active disease.

Evaluation of the (1,3)-Beta-D-Glucans level in patients with JIA and correlation of the higher serum BDG levels with JIA activity of disease, comparatively with usual markers
