Abstract
Background: Autoimmune diseases such as RA (rheumatoid arthritis) usually result from a persistent imbalance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory immune mechanisms which leads to chronic inflammation. Aim: The present study aimed to assess if inflammatory markers are raised in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis and to assess the relationship between these markers and disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis measured with DAS28 (disease activity score 28).
