Objective: Indolamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), neopterin, periostin, tenascin-C (TN-C), chitinase-3-like protein 1 (CHI3L1/YKL- 40) YKL-40 have been previously described as diagnostic markers for a number of pathologies. The aim of our study is to compare the levels of some immune system-related biomarkers in itchy dermatological diseases with healthy people and to evaluate the diagnostic importance of these markers in dermatological diseases. Material and Methods: Our study included 55 patients diagnosed with neurodermatitis, generalised pruritus and lichen planus. The control group was composed of 30 healthy adult volunteers with no history of allergic skin conditions. All participants provided informed consent for the use of their medical data in the study. The serum samples were centrifuged. Centrifuged samples were stored at -80 °C. IDO, neopterin, periostin, TN-C, YKL-40 levels were determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The Mann- Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Conover post-hoc method were used for statistical analysis. Results: Demographic characteristics were recorded and no statistically significant difference was found between demographic differences. IDO, neopterin, periostin, TN-C, YKL-40 levels were higher in patients than in controls (p<0.05). The Th1/Th2-mediated immune response activation has been observed in allergic skin diseases. A positive correlation was found between all measured parameters (p<0.01). Conclusion: In our study, non-invasive current biomarkers that can be used in the diagnosis of dermatological pathologies yielded significant results. We found higher levels of serum biomarkers in patients compared to controls. It remains uncertain whether the examined protein is related only to inflammation or is released also as a result of specific biochemical processes due to allergy. However, these indicators may still have an important place in terms of early diagnosis.

Amaç: İndolamin-2,3-dioksijenaz (IDO), neopterin, periostin, tenascin-C (TN-C), kitinaz-3-benzeri protein 1 (CHI3L1/YKL-40), daha önce bir dizi patolojinin tanısal belirteçleri olarak tanımlanmıştı. Çalışmamızın amacı, kaşıntılı dermatolojik hastalıklarda immün sistem ilişkili bazı biyobelirteçlerin düzeylerini sağlıklılarla karşılaştırmak ve bu belirteçlerin dermatolojik hastalıklardaki tanısal önemini değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmamıza nörodermatit, jeneralize kaşıntı, liken planus tanısı almış 55 hasta dâhil edildi. Kontrol grubu, alerjik cilt rahatsızlığı öyküsü olmayan 30 sağlıklı yetişkin gönüllüden oluşturuldu. Tüm katılımcılardan, çalışmada tıbbi verilerinin kullanılması için bilgilendirilmiş onam alındı serum örnekleri santrifüjlendi. Santrifüjlenen örnekler -80 °C'de saklandı. IDO, neopterin, periostin, TN-C, YKL-40 seviyeleri, enzime bağlı immünosorbent deneyi ile belirlendi. İstatistiksel analiz için Mann-Whitney U testi, Kruskal- Wallis testi ve Conover 'post hoc' yöntemi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Demografik özellikler kaydedildi ve demografik farklılıklar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmadı. IDO, neopterin, periostin, TN-C YKL-40 seviyeleri hastalarda kontrole göre yüksekti (p<0.05). Alerjik cilt hastalıklarında Th1/Th2 aracılı immün yanıt aktivasyonu gözlenmiştir. Ölçülen tüm parametreler arasında pozitif yönde bir korelasyon bulundu (p<0.01). Sonuç: Çalışmamızda, dermatolojik patolojilerin tanısında kullanılabilen noninvaziv güncel biyobelirteçler önemli sonuçlar vermiştir. Kontrollere kıyasla hastalarda daha yüksek serum biyobelirteç seviyeleri bulduk. İncelenen proteinin yalnızca iltihaplanma ile ilişkili olup olmadığı veya aynı zamanda alerjiye bağlı spesifik biyokimyasal süreçlerin bir sonucu olarak da salgılanıp salgılanmadığı belirsizliğini korumaktadır. Ancak bu göstergeler, erken tanı açısından hâlâ önemli bir yere sahip olabilir.
