Use of serum markers has been a established practice in medicine. CRP levels have been known to provide a estimate of inflammation. The present study was formulated to ascertain if levels of CRP in acute ischaemic stroke cases can be a prognostic or diagnostic marker for the condition. The study was a prospective case control format and utilized a subject pool of 50 subjects as case and control each. The study observed a significantly elevated level of CRP in cases with an acute ischaemic stroke. The study concluded that use of CRP can be a an effective modality in clinical practice in managing such cases.Keywords: CRP, Acute Ischaemic Stroke, TOAST
