The morbidity parameters (proteinuria, haematuria and pyuria) changed between the baseline and post-treatment samples, eventually reducing to zero. CONCLUSIONS the outcome of this study suggests that the persistent schistosomiasis, with its associated morbidity observed in these endemic communities, is not likely to be as a result of praziquantel resistance, but reinfection. Even though there was no suspected resistance observed in the study, there remains the need to continuously intensify the monitoring of praziquantel in other endemic communities.The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of circulating cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) and human cartilage glycoprotein-39 (YKL-40) as markers of metabolic changes of cartilage, with leptin, adiponectin, and resistin in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) patients before and after treatment. A significant decrease of COMP and an increase of YKL-4 were found in blood of untreated patients. JIA treatment leading to clinical improvement resulted in normalization of COMP levels only. Concentrations of both markers in treated patients, while showing no clinical improvement, differed from those in controls and patients with remission. The leptin level decreased (p less then 0.05) in untreated patients; however, concentrations of adiponectin and resistin increased (p less then 0.05) as compared to controls. JIA treatment resulted in normalization of adipocytokine levels in remissive patients but not those with active JIA. Untreated patients showed a correlation between COMP and leptin, adiponectin, and body mass index (BMI) and between YKL-40 and leptin, adiponectin, BMI, C-reactive protein (CRP), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). In inactive JIA, a correlation between YKL-40
