CRP and tuberculosis: Large-scale epidemiological studies have supported that CRP > 10 mg/L possibly not only suggests systemic processes, but also pyogenic infections, and a meta-analysis found that it can show considerable promise as a tool to facilitate systematic screening for active tuberculosis, even among HIV cases; however, a study concluded that various host and mycobacterial factors are strongly correlated with baseline CRP responses in tuberculosis [913,914].
