On day 7, she had a partial seizure with discharge from her wound and a C-reactive protein (CRP) of 38. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated from the bone flap and subgaleal fluid. The infection resulted in an intensive care admission for seizure control (seven days), a second operation to wash out the infected wound and remove the bone flap, and a long course of antibiotics (seven weeks of intravenous meropenem and gentamicin). Here, CRP is linked to infection.
