CRP, an acute phase reactant: Role in Differentiating Bacterial and Non-Bacterial CNS Infections
Keywords:
C reactive Protein, acute inflammation, quantitative measurement of CR
Abstract
C reactive Protein is marker of acute inflammation. Now quantitative measurement of CRP is possible. It’s quantitative titers are better indicator of inflammation then qualitative one.
