The Procalcitonin Serum Test measures the levels of procalcitonin in the blood, a biomarker elevated in severe bacterial infections and sepsis. This test is essential for diagnosing and monitoring systemic infections and distinguishing bacterial infections from viral ones. Elevated procalcitonin levels indicate the severity of bacterial infection and help guide antibiotic therapy, ensuring timely and appropriate treatment.

High Procalcitonin Levels: Suggest severe bacterial infection, sepsis, or systemic inflammation. Normal Procalcitonin Levels: Generally rule out bacterial infections but may require further investigation based on symptoms. Conditions Monitored: Severe bacterial infections Sepsis and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) Monitoring effectiveness of antibiotic therapy
