Hi thanks for your question. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and the c reactive protein (CRP) are a measure of inflammation in your body. They go up whenever you have an infection or injury. Your sons ESR level is mildly elevated and his CRP is normal. This would be consistent with a viral infection.
