Abstract
Serum CRP [c-reactive protein] levels from 10-200 .mu.g/ml were found in 19 patients with acute pyelonephritis. Treatment with antibacterial drugs, to which the bacteria [Escherichia coli] were fully sensitive, resulted in a rapid decrease of the CRP values, and very low or trace amounts were attained within 1 wk. Cases ineffectively treated and/or reinfected showed increasing or slowly decreasing CRP levels. Repeated CRP determinations can apparently be used as a diagnostic tool for the rapid detection of cases of acute pyelonephritis in which treatment is ineffective.Keywords
