متن کاملProcalcitonin as a marker of serious bacterial infections in febrile children younger than 3 years old.
OBJECTIVES There is no perfectly sensitive or specific test for identifying young, febrile infants and children with occult serious bacterial infections (SBIs). Studies of procalcitonin (PCT), a 116-amino-acid precursor of the hormone calcitonin, have demonstrated its potential as an acute-phase biomarker for SBI. The objective of this study was to compare performance of serum PCT with traditio...
متن کاملRisk Factors for Serious Bacterial Infection in Febrile Young Infants in a Community Referral Hospital
