CRP and susceptibility to pneumonia measurement: The median CRP found in patients with pneumonia (62 mg/L) might be considered as low compared to, for example, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines, but according to Swedish guidelines, pneumonia should be considered if CRP is >100 mg/L at the visit, or >50 mg/L after 1 week of duration.8 CRP is probably just a piece of the puzzle in the total judgment of the LRTI patient; however, information on the symptom duration is lacking.
