PLT was correlated with CRP and ESR values in the tuberculosis group (r = 0.57, r = 0.56, p < 0.001; respectively), while it was not correlated with CRP and ESR in the pneumonia group (r = 0.20, r = 0.26, p > 0.05, respectively). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is susceptibility to pneumonia measurement.
