CRP testing aids coronavirus management in China

Although there are very limited available research data, currently spreading novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) seems to increase C-reactive protein (CRP) levels significantly, due to viral alveolar damage that was also seen in the SARS epidemic in 2002. General Office of the Chinese National Health Commission has released a guideline to guide the diagnosis and treatment of 2019-nCoV recommending the use of CRP tests together with other clinical parameters for evaluation and follow-up of coronavirus infection.
