CRP and infection: Among a large variety of potential biomarkers [16], acute-phase reactants such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid A (SAA), and vascular adhesion molecules such as soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1) reflect low-grade inflammation when present in low concentrations [1], [2], whereas high concentrations, such as CRP>10mg/l, more likely reflect acute inflammation or infection [9], [17], [18].
