Hello and welcome to HCM,
A positive CRP report suggests infection/ inflammation.
The TLC is high in a new born baby.
In the initial 3 days of life the there is neutrophilia, however, an elevated CRP levels point towards infection.
The platelet count is low- only 22,000/ cubic millimeter.
Platelet count may be decreased in infections.
You need to consult your pediatrician for clinical assessment of the baby and relevant investigations.
Thanks and take care
