A recent review published in The Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery suggests that the best scoring system currently available for assessing a patient’s risk of NSTI is the Laboratory Risk Indicator for Necrotizing Fasciitis Score (LRINEC), which serves as a tool that can be used to increase suspicion for NSTI using laboratory findings such as white blood cell count (WBC), creatinine, sodium (Na), hemoglobin (Hgb), glucose, and C-reactive protein (CRP) [8]. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is fasciitis.
