What Does Elevated ESR And CRP Indicate?
My daughter has had a low grade fever for approximately two weeks. She had a similar fever one month ago. Her Ped ran some blood levels, and told me her ESR and CRP were elevated. Her other symptoms include a mild cough, and nasal congestion, but she also suffers from seasonal allergies. What could this indicate?

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Presence of elevated ESR and CRP indicates inflammation.
2. Cause appears to be allergic leading to nasal congestion.
3. High elevated levels above more than 100 is serious.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
