CRP and Increased total leukocyte count: Compared to Salmonella Paratyphi A infected patients, Salmonella Typhi patients had slightly but significantly higher median values for leukocytes (6.8 x 109/L vs. 6.3 x 109/L; p = 0.035) and C-reactive protein (CRP) (47.0 mg/L vs. 36 mg/L; p = 0.034), with more presence of leukocytosis (10.0% vs. 2.2% p = 0.015).
