Clinical Significance

C Reactive protein received its name in 1930 when Tillet and Francis discovered a protein in the serum of patients with pneumonia that formed a complex with the C polysaccharide of pneumococcus. It is one of the proteins commonly referred to as acute phase reactants and provides a highly sensitive indicator of inflammatory conditions, infections and other disease states where tissue necrosis occurs.
