Background: Numerous studies are supporting the hypothesis that neuroinflammation may play an important role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Reports on increased serum C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration as a risk factor for AD are conflicting. We examined the differences in the serum CRP levels in patients with AD and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and normal controls. Methods: We enrolled 56 subjects with AD, 29 subjects with MCI, and 24 healthy control subjects in the study. A total of 109 subjects agreed to blood sampling to evaluate serum CRP levels. A dementia screening test was performed using the Korean version of the Mini-Mental Status Examination. Inclusion criteria for MCI used the Petersen guidelines Results: Among AD, MCI, and control groups, there were no significant differences in serum CRP levels. There was no association betwe..
