Brief summary
the correlations between CXCL10 levels, CRP, and acne severity scores (e.g., Global Acne Grading System) suggest that CXCL10 could serve as a biomarker of inflammation and acne severity. Understanding the relationship between CXCL10, CRP, and acne severity may offer insights into novel therapeutic strategies targeting inflammatory pathways in acne.
Detailed description
Cross-sectional Observational Study. using 4 groups a 3 of different acne severity and controle one . the serum cxcl10 and crp will measured in each patient to correlate with disease severity
Interventions
serum blood sample to measure the cxcl10
blood sample to measure crp
Sponsors
Study design
Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
1. Patients aged 12-40 years diagnosed with acne vulgaris. 2. Both genders included. 3. Patients with mild, moderate, or severe acne severity as determined by a validated scoring system (e.g., Global Acne Grading System). 4. Patients not on systemic acne treatment (e.g., isotretinoin or antibiotics) or anti-inflammatory drugs.
Exclusion criteria
1. Patients with autoimmune diseases, systemic illnesses, acute infection or any other chronic inflammatory conditions that may affect CRP or CXCL10 levels. 2. Pregnant or lactating individuals.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Correlation of CXCL10 and CRP levels with acne severity (GAG score). | within one year after the result | compare the result of serum cxcl10 and crp with disease severity |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Identify thresholds of CXCL10 and CRP for predicting moderate/severe acne | within one year after the result | the least result to identify the group |
| Explore potential differences based on sex or age groups | within one year of the result | the effect of age and sex on the result |
