C-reactive protein (CRP) is expected to increase in response to a range of inflammatory stimuli such as infections or extensive tissue trauma.
We present a novel case of severely impaired CRP response following NSTEMI, influenza A infection and open-heart surgery in which serum CRP concentrations remained < 1 mg/L during an observational period of 28 days.
To our knowledge, no previous publications exists describing patients with a lack of CRP response following cardiothoracic surgery. We believe this to be a novel finding warranting further investigations regarding the etiology and prevalence of this phenomenon.
C 反应蛋白(CRP)预计会在一系列炎症刺激下增加,例如感染或广泛的组织创伤。
我们报告了一例新型 NSTEMI、甲型流感感染和心脏直视手术后 CRP 反应严重受损的病例,在 28 天的观察期内,血清 CRP 浓度一直<1mg/L。
据我们所知,以前没有文献描述过心脏直视手术后 CRP 反应缺乏的患者。我们认为这是一个新的发现,需要进一步研究这种现象的病因和普遍性。
