Popis: Objective – To compare the recently introduced wide-range C-reactive protein (wr-CRP) with the widely used high-sensitivity Behring Dade method (hs-CRP) in acute stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA) patients. Materials and methods – A total of 119 consecutive patients admitted to a tertiary medical center with acute ischemic stroke/TIA were included in the study. Venous blood was obtained for both assays during the first 24 h, 3–5 days, as well as 3–6 months thereafter. Results – A highly significant correlation (r = 0.994, P
