چکیده
Brahms PCT), yielding a result of 0.88 g/L, slightly higher than the cutoff value (0.58 g/L). The crossreactivity with procalcitonin might be more likely in our sample measured with a polyclonal assay. Other interferences cannot be excluded. The 2 CT assays give markedly different results. The introduction of an internationally agreed upon standard would contribute to optimizing the CT assay, thereby providing a more reliable tool for the treatment of patients with MTC.

متن کاملSignificance of Serum Procalcitonin Level in the Early Diagnosis of Neonatal Sepsis
Background: Sepsis in neonates presents itself with non-specific clinical features which makes early diagnosis difficult. However, procalcitonin (PCT) and other inflammatory markers have recently been considered as sensitive markers for the early detection of neonatal sepsis. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the diagnostic value of PCT in the early detection of neonatal sepsis an...
