Abstract:
Objective To investigate the concentration of procalcitonin,C-reactive protein and WBC count for patients with dif-ferent kind of bacterial infection.Methods 49 blood samples and 81 other samples were collected form different patients for bacteri-al culture.Meanwhile,procalcitonin,C-reactive protein concentration and WBC count of those patients were determined to find whether these indicators exhibited any difference between Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria infected patients.Results For bloodstream infection,PCT levels in patients with Gram-nagetive bacterial infection were obviously higher than those with Gram-positive infection(P <0.05 ).For other infection,there was no statistical difference among patients′PCT,CRP concentration and WBC count(P >0.05).Conclusion PCT concentration is valuable in the differential diagnosis of blood stream infection caused by Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria,but not in local infection infection.
