A member asked:
A friend recently recovered from infections. but a dr thought there was a 2nd infection when the inflammatory markers went up again, although the wbc was no worse. presumably, the dr was referring to the crp. are there any other inflammatory markers?

ESR: The other commonly used inflammatory marker is the erythrocyte sedimentation rate, or ESR.
