Abstract Background Monitoring systemic inflammatory activity during steroid therapy of canine immune-mediated polyarthritis IMPA is difficult and mainly relies on clinical signs. Case presentation Canine serum C-reactive protein CRP was measured serially and blinded during a 27-week follow-up period of a case of Anaplasma phagocytophilia induced type II immune-mediated polyarthritis. Conclusion WBC was as expected observed not to reflect the inflammatory activity during steroid treatment in a clinical useful manner whereas CRP is suggested a valuable unbiased marker of inflammatory .
