CRP and bacterial pneumonia: However, clinical measures considered suggestive of bacterial pneumonia were associated with increasing load, including findings of alveolar consolidation on CXR (23.5%, 38.0%, and 63.6% for nonconfirmed cases with positive but <2.2, 2.2–3.5, and ≥3.5 log10 copies/mL, respectively) and C-reactive protein ≥40 mg/L (29.0%, 38.8%, and 73.9% for nonconfirmed cases with positive but <2.2, 2.2–3.5, and ≥3.5 log10 copies/mL, respectively; Table 2).
