  1. ESR erythrocyte sedimentation rate, CRP C-reactive protein, LDH lactate dehydrogenase, AST aspartate aminotransferase, ALT alanine aminotransferase. Systemic scores (0–12) were obtained using the method described by Pouchot et al. [8], with 1 point assigned for each of the following manifestations: fever, typical rash, pleuritis, pneumonia, pericarditis, hepatomegaly or abnormal liver function tests, splenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, leukocytosis ≥ 15,000/mm2, sore throat, myalgia, and abdominal pain. The Pearson correlation statistic was used to compare the correlation between ESR, CRP, ferritin, and leukocyte counts, as disease activity markers, and the Yamaguchi and ILAR criteria
