The value of C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in the differential diagnosis of pelvic infection and ectopic pregnancy, in the staging of carcinoma of the cervix, and after necrotizing irradiation for tumour was assessed. CRP was measured using a sensitive magnetizable solid-phase immunoradiometric assay. There was an obvious difference in CRP levels between patients with ectopic pregnancies and acute pelvic infections, but CRP levels failed to differentiate between stages IIB and IIIB carcinoma of the cervix, the majority of patients not having a significant acute-phase response. During radiotherapy there was wide variation and substantial individual differences in CRP levels which could have been caused by undiagnosed infective complications.
评估了C反应蛋白（CRP）水平在盆腔感染与异位妊娠的鉴别诊断、宫颈癌分期以及肿瘤坏死性放疗后的价值。采用灵敏的可磁化固相免疫放射分析测定CRP。异位妊娠患者与急性盆腔感染患者的CRP水平存在明显差异，但CRP水平无法区分宫颈癌IIB期和IIIB期，大多数患者没有显著的急性期反应。放疗期间，CRP水平变化很大且个体差异显著，这可能是由未诊断出的感染性并发症引起的。
