CRP and bacterial infectious disease: They demonstrated that there was no difference in PCT levels between patients with or without bacterial infections (0.42 ng/mL vs. 0.38 ng/mL, p = 0.260), although CRP levels were higher in patients with ACLF that developed bacterial infections (8.4 mg/dL vs. 14.4 mg/dL, p < 0.001) [21].
