Brief overview of Pentraxin 3

We have read with great interest study by Gokdemir et al. [1] about the “Pentraxin 3 level in acute migraine attack with aura: Patient management in the emergency department”. The authors investigated the value of Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) in the diagnosis of acute migraine and the results suggested obvious effectiveness of PTX3 (sensitivity 93% and specificity 84%). The f indings give us confidence in PTX3-assisted diagnosis of acute migraine, whereas there still lacks support of evidence-based medicine.
