Although no significant differences were observed, there was a trend toward higher WBC counts and second CRP levels in the bacteremia group (WBC: 15449.52±5216.50 vs. 18434±6720.42 (p=0.08); second CRP: 4.58±7.31 vs. 17.59±21.17 (p=0.08)) (Table 2). Here, CRP is linked to bacterial infectious disease with sepsis.
