Acute appendicitis (AA) remains a diagnostic challenge in children, despite ongoing researches. With an aim to facilitate making diagnosis of AA many scoring systems have been created; among them Alvarado score is the most popular. C-reactive protein (CRP) has proven significance for diagnosing AA in adults, but not in children. The aim of this study was to evaluate significance of Alvarado score, as well as CRP values, in making diagnosis of AA in children.
