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, t...
