Can CRP levels help diagnose infections?

Yes, elevated CRP levels are a strong indicator of infections, especially bacterial infections, which often cause significant inflammation. However, CRP cannot distinguish between bacterial and viral infections or pinpoint the exact site of infection. It is used in combination with clinical symptoms and other tests to diagnose infections accurately.
