Mr. Tаylоr scenаriо: Mr. Tаylоr is a 58-year-old man with diabetes who develops a wound on his foot after stepping on a nail. Two weeks later, he presents with worsening foot pain, redness, fever, and chills. Laboratory testing shows an elevated white blood cell count and increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR, this blood test is used to detect and monitor inflammation in the body). MRI findings suggest infection of the underlying bone. A bone biopsy confirms osteomyelitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus. The patient is admitted for intravenous antibiotic therapy. Which diagnostic tests indicate inflammation and infection?
