Proteina C-reactivă ca potențial biomarker pentru tulburarea de anxietate generalizată la copii și adolescenți

This case-control study examined serum inflammatory markers including C-reactive protein (CRP) in 25 drug-naïve children and adolescents with generalized anxiety disorder compared to 30 healthy controls, using standardized psychiatric assessments and laboratory analyses. The research investigates whether immune dysregulation and neuroinflammatory pathways contribute to pediatric GAD pathophysiology through measurement of multiple cytokines and related biomarkers.
