Brief Answer:
Suggestive of infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
A highly raised level of CRP is suggestive of acute viral and bacterial infections. It is interpreted in association with other tests to detect the exact cause of infection in the body.
The normal concentration of CRP in the serum of a healthy human is usually lower than 10 mg/L. A value of >200 mg/L s seen n the incidence of severe bacterial infections and burns.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
