Procalcitonin (PCT) is the 116 amino acid precursor of the hormone calcitonin, produced by the C cells of the thyroid. Its synthesis is upregulated in bacterial infection and downregulated by viral infection. Consequently, with the increasing development of antibiotic resistance, interest has focused on the ability of this marker to not only diagnose ...

Archives of disease in childhood - Education & practice edition, 2018
Diagnosing bacterial infection in the unwell or febrile child is a common challenge faced by all paediatricians. Despite the advent of novel molecular techniques, there is ongoing need for diagnostic assays with adequate performance and turnaround time to facilitate safe clinical decision-making when bacterial sepsis is suspected, such as whether to ...

Procalcitonin: present and future
Irish Journal of Medical Science (1971 -), 2015Critically ill patients are frequently at risk of sepsis or inflammatory conditions. Procalcitonin (PCT) is a biomarker for critically ill patients to differentiate sepsis from non-infectious triggers of the systemic inflammatory response syndrome. It has been recently shown that PCT is a valuable tool to guide antibiotic treatment in patients with ...

Procalcitonin in hantavirus infections
Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation, 2011In hantavirus infections levels of serum leukocytes or C-reactive protein are usually elevated to levels found in serious bacterial infections. However, procalcitonin in patients infected with hantavirus has not yet been discussed in the literature.
