In addition, CRP levels in asymptomatic malaria patients did not vary with high density parasitemia (more than 10,000 parasites/μL) and remained less than 3.5 μg/mL compared with uncomplicated malaria patients in whom the median CRP concentration was 116.4 μg/mL, indicating that high parasitemia alone did not stimulate an acute-phase response63. Here, CRP is linked to parasitic infectious disease.
