Considering possible infection markers that help in early diagnosis, the authors highlighted an increase in the mean serum CRP level of 12.65 g/dL, while patients without reinfection had a mean serum CRP of 5.0 g/dL.12In an Indian study, the sensitivity and specificity of using erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and CRP cutoff points in the diagnosis of infection were 57 and 94%, respectively, corroborating these results.13 This evidence concerns the gene CRP and infection.
