CRP and bacterial infectious disease with sepsis: Mölkänen et al. (2010) reported greater differences in CRP concentrations between carriers and non-carriers of the rs3091244 A-allele at peak CRP concentrations (103 mg/L difference, P = 0.004) during the first week of a Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia when average CRP was approximately 190 mg/L, than 7-days after diagnosis (5 mg/L difference, P = 0.77) when average CRP concentrations had decreased to approximately 43 mg/L (Fig. 7E).
