C-reactive protein levels in community-acquired pneumonia.
The diagnostic value of C-reactive protein (CRP) admission serum levels as an indicator of the aetiology of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) was evaluated. A cohort of 1,222 patients with CAP was assessed. CRP levels were analysed in 258 patients with a single aetiological diagnosis. The mean CRP values in patients with pyogenic, atypical, viral and Legionella pneumophila pneumonia were: 16 m...
متن کاملC-reactive protein in the diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia.
Qualitative determination of C-reactive protein (CRP) was evaluated as a diagnostic method for community-acquired pneumonia. Paired serum and pleural fluid samples from child patients were examined with a CRP test, compared to bacterial cultures, counterimmunoelectrophoresis and immunoassay. The CRP test gave excellent parameters of sensitivity, specificity and predictive values for the diagnos...

conclusions we found statistical differences in pct levels that would differentiate cap from acute exacerbation of copd in the ed setting. further studies are required to verify this finding. methods this cross-sectional prospective descriptive study was performed in the emergency department (ed) on patients with cap and acute exacerbation of copd. a total of 53 patients were included in this s...
متن کاملTotal Antioxidant Capacity and C-Reactive Protein Levels in Patients with Community-Acquired Pneumonia
Results: In the whole study population, the TAC level was inversely correlated with CRP levels and WBC counts (r=-0.648, P=0.0001; r=-0.626, P=0.0001, respectively). Lower TAC and higher MDA levels were found in CAP patients compared with those of controls (P = 0.0001, P = 0.029). Although the mean serum MDA and TAC levels were similar between the groups of PSI class I-III (n=45) and PSI class ...
