Abstract

Background: Acute abdominal pain is a common complaint among emergency department patients. Diagnosis of one of the most common pathologies behind acute abdominal pain, acute appendicitis, has radically changed over the last decades.

Methods: The source of data was from pretested proforma which takes into account clinical history, general physical examination, relevant investigations imaging modalities. All data were analyzed by Epi-info software.

Results: Mean CRP level in 0-6 mm appendix diameter patients was 1.63±2.32mg/dl, in 6-8 mm diameter cases was 2.89±3.67mg/dl, 8-10 mm cases CRP level was 3.60±3.24 mg/dl and in 10-12 mm diameter cases CRP level was 3.61±2.28 mg/dl.

Conclusion: Raised serum C-reactive protein reducing the rate of negative explorations.
