CRP OVER 75 BADNESS

Verbal et al.

Arch Dis Child, 2017

This prospective Belgian study incorporated CRP + assessment and vitals into an algorithm for febrile children. CRP >75mg/L had a 26.8% risk of serious infection requiring admission. Well appearing kids had lower CRPs. It's not validated in a multi-center manner yet; don't use CRP alone to determine sick vs not.
