Accumulating evidence has shown the important role of the inflammatory process in the pathophysiology of mental disorders. However, the relative levels of inflammatory markers in patients with panic disorder (PD) have rarely been evaluated. The aim of the present study was to conduct a systematic review to determine the correlation of peripheral C-reactive protein (CRP) and inflammatory cytokine profiles with PD.
