Patients who remained infection-free had higher mean CRP and WBC than patients who became reinfected in both the preexplantation (45.4 versus 18 mg/L and 8.6 versus 7.5 × 109/L, respectively) and prereimplantation (11.1 versus 2.8 mg/L and 6.6 versus 6.5 × 109/L, respectively) time points (Table 2). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is infection.
