This study aimed to determine the value of SAA detected by a sensitive and automatized ELISA method aberrantly healthy children from 4 years to 7 years and to investigate the correlation between SAA and CRP. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 85 healthy children. All studied cases were subjected to demographic data and history taking, complete clinical examination, laboratory investigations; Complete blood count (CBC), Serum amyloid A (SAA), and C-reactive protein (CRP). Results: There was positive correlation between SAA and CRP (r=0.901 and P value | ||
