Özet

Background Several studies have been conducted on the inflammatory aspects of migraine. Pentraxins are a novel and important part of innate immunity as a superfamily of acute phase proteins. In our study, we aimed to demonstrate the relationship between migraine and the serum levels of pentraxin-3 (PTX-3), C-reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen and D-dimer.
