The respective values for other markers of infection were not significant (for procalcitonin: 0.61 [IQR 0.37–3.13] vs. 0.48 [IQR 0.18–2.45] μg/L (p = 0.09), for C-reactive protein 152 [IQR 84–211] vs. 132 [IQR 66–213] mg/L (p = 0.83) and for total leukocyte count (13.5 [IQR 10.3–16.9] vs. 12.7 [IQR 9.0–16.7] × 109/L (p = 0.35)). This evidence concerns the gene CRP and infection.
