CRP and bacterial infectious disease with sepsis: In 325 febrile episodes form HSCT patients, PCT levels were higher in bacteremia cases compared to those in non-bacteremia cases [0.30 (0.18–0.58) ng/mL vs. 0.19 (0.16–0.22) ng/mL, P < 0.001] whereas CRP levels were not significantly different between bacteremia and non-bacteremia cases [51.0 (39.5–78.4) mg/L vs. 49.3 (39.9–61.3) mg/L, P = 0.414] (Fig 3).
