Overview

Backround.
Endothelial activation is an important etiopathogenetic factor in a group of disorders characterised byprimary or secondary vasculitis. The aim of our study was to determine blood concentrations of von Willebrandfactor (vWF), vypuštěno soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and E-selectin (E-sel) in children withvarious rheumatic diseases and in paediatric controls and to correlate them with clinical and laboratory variables.Methods and Results. Total of 28 healthy children (ZD) and 48 patients were evaluated: 6 with systemic lupuserythematosus (SLE), 7 with other diffuse connective tissue diseases (SSD), 11 with Henoch-Schönlein purpura(HSP), 14 with oligoarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and 10 febrile controls (FC). Erythrocyte sedimentationrate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP) and full blood count were recorded. ICAM-1, E-sel and vWF concentrationswere measured by sandwich ELISA kits. In SLE patients’ concentrations of vWF and ICAM-1 weresignificantly higher than in healthy (p
