Among the confirmed bacterial pneumonia cases, those confirmed for either Spn or Hinf had higher CRP (84% CRP ≥40 mg/L and 74% CRP ≥100 mg/L) than cases confirmed for other bacteria (69% CRP ≥40 mg/L, P = .18 and 45% CRP ≥100 mg/L, P = .02; Supplementary Table 5). Here, CRP is linked to bacterial pneumonia.
