Core Tip Elderly patients suffer higher morbidity and mortality rates. The elderly are a high-risk group due to their deranged immune responses, associated medical illnesses, and poor responses to supportive treatment. C-Reactive protein (CRP) is an inflammatory marker used in the investigation panel of coronavirus disease 2019. CRP distinguished severe infections and predicted deleterious outcomes. Increased levels were reported in the deceased, critically ill, and elderly with respiratory failure underlying exaggerated inflammatory response and overactive cytokines production. Recent studies have discussed a therapeutic avenue for the elderly. CRP may help guide clinical decisions and patient follow-up, ultimately improving outcomes.
