(2021), it was concluded that elevated levels of IL-6, CRP, LDH, D-dimer, procalcitonin, aspartate aminotransferase, creatinine, leukocytes, and neutrophils with lymphopenia and thrombocytopenia are important biomarkers of CRS [31]. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is congenital rubella syndrome.
