There is a large body of evidence suggesting that CRP is an effective marker for distinguishing bacterial from non-bacterial infection, though most of these studies took place in high-resource settings (Alcoba and co., Switzerland, 2017, and Zhao and co., Beijing, 2020), and very few considered malaria (Lubell and co., Cambodia, 2015 and Mahende and co., Tanzania, 2017). This evidence concerns the gene CRP and malaria.
