Association of Elevated C‐Reactive Protein in Term Newborns With Neonatal Factors and Gut Microbiota
Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aim Plasma C‐reactive protein (CRP) is widely used to assess neonatal infection, although mild, unexplained elevations are common in healthy newborns. We examined relationships between non‐infectious CRP levels and neonatal factors, and early gut microbiota composition in term infants.
