CRP and Sepsis: The ROC analysis for the diagnostic value of the CRP levels for the discrimination between culture-positive and culture-negative sepsis revealed significant results [AUC = 0.845 (95% CI 0.662–1.000), p = 0.002] which were better than those for ANC [AUC = 0.765 (95% CI 0.594–0.936), p = 0.02] (Figure 3).
