Can crp test indicate the presence of cmv infection?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No. CRP is a nonspecific marker of inflammation. CMV infection is generally detected through viral study of specimen from various body fluids.

No. There are specific antibody and nucleic acid tests for CMV. CRP is a marker of inflammation but does not address the cause of inflammation.
