CRP and aspiration pneumonitis: In GA, among lung diseases, the CRP levels in bronchopneumonia and aspiration pneumonia were significantly greater than those in pulmonary edema (cardiogenic and non-cardiogenic), with median values of 4.0 μg/mL (range: 0.3–14.3 μg/mL) and 2.6 μg/mL (range: 0.3–13.1 μg/mL), respectively (Table 3).
