CRP and bacterial infectious disease: The median CRP level of 2.75 (1.83–5.21) mg/l in uninfected patients was significantly lower than that in patients with bacterial infection (15.65 (8.17–54.85) mg/l) and bacterial and fungal coinfection (78.50 (13.75–113.50) mg/l) while the median CRP value of 2.70 (1.69–19.98) mg/l in patients with HBV infection was not significantly altered (Table 1 and Figure 1(a)).
