Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of procalcitionin (PCT ) in infectious diseases .Methods Levels of PCT , C reaction protein (CRP) and white blood cells (WBC) were detected and compared among 103 cases of bacterial infection ,77 ca‐ses of viral infections and 60 cases of non‐infected patients .Results PCT level of most bacterial infection patients was higher than 0 .5 ng/mL ,and that of viral infection patients was less or equal to 0 .5 ng/mL .Proportion of bacterial infection patients with differ‐ent PCT level was different with that of viral infection patients (P<0 .05) .PCT ,CRP and WBC levels in bacterial infection patients were higher than viral infection patients and non‐infected patients (P<0 .05) .Positive rates of PCT ,CRP and WBC in bacterial in‐fection patients were higher than viral infection patients and non‐infected patients (P<0 .05) .Conclusion PCT might be with high diagnostic sensitivity and specificity to infectious diseases ,with important diagnostic value .
