CRP and HIV infectious disease: Interesting, a logistic regression model revealed that associations between heightened ferritin levels at day 60 and positive cultures at that time point (unadjusted Odds ratio [OR]: 2.05, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.15–3.58, p = 0.003) persisted after adjustment for age, gender, BMI, HIV infection status and CRP levels (adjusted OR: 1.54, 95% CI: 1.18–2.32, p = 0.025).
