Inflammatory response after stroke—A clinical observation study
Acute stroke may cause mildly elevated levels of CRP, WBC and body temperature. Except for WBC during the first 24h, higher levels (such as CRP > 50mg/L, WBC > 11 × 10^9/L or body temp > 38°C) are very uncommon (< 2.5%) and are likely to reflect a complication.
