Determination of procalcitonin in pulmonary patients

Aim of the study was to evaluate diagnostic value of procalcitonin concentration in serum in relation to other inflammation markers (CRP, fibrinogen, WBC count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate) among patients treated in Clinic for lung diseases Jordanovac. Microbiological processing is taken into account. CRP has proven to be sensitive marker inflammation. Although our investigation suggests that the PCT is more specific marker for systemic inflammation, it is necessary to do additional tests on a large sample for relevant assessment of its diagnostic value in pulmonary patients.
