Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. High ESR and CRP levels indicate severe inflammation.2. Need to evaluate for an infection, based on associated symptoms. Blood culture, sputum examination, urine culture should give a probable cause.3. Tuberculosis, malaria, septicemia are common causes. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
