title: [Erythrocyte sedimentation rate, fibrinemia, alpha-2 globulinemia, biological inflammation and the practitioner (author's transl)].
abstract: The authors found a significant statistical correlation (linear and Spearman) between erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), plasma fibrinogen level, alpha-2-globulins level, platelets count, anemia and age, in 1 000 patients admitted to the Hôtel-Dieu of Marseille. The high degree of partial correlations obtained, confirmed that a direct and independent relationship exists between ESR-fibrinogen, ESR - alpha-2-globulin, fibrinogen - alpha-2-globulin. Determinations of plasma fibrinogen and alpha-2-globulin levels are they still useful in the survey of inflammatory diseases when ESR can be easily determined?
