We selected conservative treatment with I.V. antibiotics because the increase in inflammatory parameters in the blood samples was mild (white blood cell (WBC), 8430/μL; C-reactive protein (CRP), 7.11 mg/dL; pH, 7.337; and lactate, 0.87 mEq/L) and no signs of sepsis, free gas near the portal vein, or bowel perforation were detected. This evidence concerns the gene CRP and Sepsis.
