CRP and paracoccidioidomycosis: We found that neurosurgery [OR: 14.4 (1.6–126.1), P = 0.004], lumbar drainage [OR: 5.8 (1.5–23.3), P = 0.009], VP shunt [(OR: 5.6 (1.2–25.8), P = 0.020)], external ventricular drainage [(OR: 4.7 (1.3–17.7), P = 0.018], CRP ≥ 10.0 mg/L [(OR: 4.9 (1.3–18.1), P = 0.034] and postsurgical broad-spectrum antibiotics [OR: 9.5 (1.8–50.5), P = 0.004] were associated with PCM.
