Anti-𝜶-enolase Antibodies in Serum from Pediatric Patients Affected by Inflammatory Diseases: Diagnostic and Pathogenetic Insights

Table 1

Patients and controls demographic data. Mean age and males/female ratio were reported for healthy controls (HC) and in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), celiac disease (CD), Crohn’s disease (ChD), hereditary periodic fevers (HPFs), and PFAPA syndrome (PFAPA). Age and males/females ratio from patients were compared with HC using an independent t-test and a Fisher exact test, respectively.

	Age (years; mean ± SD)	P	Males/females ratio	P
HC (n = 80)	7.1±4.8		35/45
JIA (n = 31)	11.2±4	0.12	11/20	0.52
CD (n = 55)	12.7±11.3	0.31	17/38	0.15
CrD (n = 59)	11.9±5.1	0.10	33/26	0.17
HPF (n = 20)	12.6±8.1	0.14	13/7	0.13
PFAPA (n = 29)	3.4±2.7	0.08	13/15	0.83
