High CRP Causes (When Should You Start Antibiotics?)

[@clinicaltips8926]

I want to remind everyone that my videos are for educational purposes only. Of course, everyone is welcome to watch, but the information I present is most useful for junior doctors, nurses, and students. As I stated in the description of every video and on my channel homepage, none of this is medical advice for patients. I don't practice medicine over the internet. If you are a patient and have any questions about your health, please get in touch with your doctor.

CRP of 205! Was dealing with bouts of urticaria for about 2 months (not sure if it’s related), then one day I noticed 5 bug bites on my right ankle. Fast forward a week and my legs were sore like I had a tough workout. A few days later I couldn’t walk without taking 800mg of ibuprofen several times a day. A few days after that my feet, calves, hands and forearms got swollen and stiff. A day or two after that the stiffness went to my jaw and I had a fever. Went to the hospital and got that CRP number there. Finally see my doctor as well as a rheumatologist and hematologist. Believing it was Lyme (even though I tested negative, and the bites didn’t look like tick bites) they put me on doxycycline for 6 weeks. After day 3 on antibiotics, my symptoms started subsiding. Thoughts? My doctors haven’t a clue. Rheumatologist thinks I have RA, but when you’re a hammer, everything is a nail.

Hey man, thanks for this video! It helped me to put the different values into perspective, while I wait for the next appointment. Other introductory texts on random articles did not give examples of ranges and their possible diagnoses and seriousness. Stay safe folks

Is high crp cause left hand arm chest pain also on right side sometimes and left leg

So CRP below < 20, is viral or bacterial infection?

[@003halmr]

Its impossible to say. CRP only indicates that there is inflammation (or another trigger of IL-6 such as cancer). It tells you that something is going on, not what is going on. The doctor in this video suggest a high CRP (such as >100 mg/L) is more likley to be bacterial than viral but still there are many caveats. A severe virus or even cancer and blood clot or even something like rheumatoid arthritis can increase the CRP. Important take away is CRP ONLY tells us there is something going on, not what is going on. CRP is part of the picture but you will need a doctor to interpret all that is going on.

I just got my blood tests back, after a continuing 4 days of high fever and right abdominal pain, and my CRP is at 103. My GP told me to go the infectious hospital to see what it might be, but she says she suspects it's covid. I've also had a gray stool, and from all the other symptoms and my not best lifestyle, is it possible this is not covid, but liver damage? I tested negative for covid 4 days ago.

Over New Year I had a fever, sickness and cough. I was given antisickness medication, pain relief and antibiotics through IV and my CRP marker was 342 when I was admitted to hospital and given antibiotics... They said it was a viral infection and were concerned about sepsis, is this a legitimate concern??

How are you today? My wife has the same situation

[@Deanpeach]

@@Sickshitmofaka I’m sorry to hear that! I hope she recovers quickly! I have since recovered fully, they couldn’t tell me what the infection was but after doing a small amount of research it seems I was lucky to have gone to hospital when I did! Is she being taken care of? She may need antibiotics
