C‐reactive protein diagnostic value for bacterial infections in the paediatric emergency department setting

CRP levels of ≥5 mg/dl high specificity for bacterial disease, allow for its use as an indicator to start empiric antibiotic treatment, while the low sensitivity of various CRP levels probably excludes the possibility of withholding empiric antibiotic treatment, based only on CRP level.
