Kid hospitalised with high CRP
My daughter is 7 years old and is admitted to hospital when she was 2 years old with high fever and the diagnosis that time was Occult Sepsis. Now after 4 years she is admitted again with high fever and diagnosis is Occult Sepsis again. Is this normal for a kid to have bacterial infection again and again? Any further tests needed? She is fine and playful even in high fever both the times. Anything to do with her immunity ? She was tested for crp on 5th day of fever. Will the crop gets elevated to 130 in jus five days? Can crp be tested on 2nd and 3rd day to avoid hospitalisation? Is there any chance that she is carrying infection from 10 days and fever showing up now?

With low immunity, child can get repeated infections, early rise of crp does not stop hospitalisation, it depends on the child',S condition, vital stats.
Fever can show up late with low immunity,
