CRP and infection: Interestingly, the majority of high inflammation patients in our sample had plasma CRP levels consistent with subclinical inflammation (above the normal cut-off of 2.0 mg/mL [46]), while 10/70 patients had CRP levels consistent with ‘mild’ inflammation (10–50 mg/mL), and no patient had CRP levels that would indicate significant infection or inflammation (>100 mg/mL) [47, 48].
