High Baseline C-Reactive Protein Level Can Predict the Occurrence of the Jarisch–Herxheimer Reaction in Patients with Active Syphilis

BACKGROUND: The Jarisch–Herxheimer reaction (JHR) is an inflammatory reaction that can occur after treatment for syphilis. The mechanism of JHR is unknown. The level of C-reactive protein (CRP) increases during infection and inflammation. We hypothesized that CRP may be involved in the JHR in syphil...
