Ability of Procalcitonin to Discriminate Infection from Non-Infective Inflammation Using Two Pleural Disease Settings
Procalcitonin has been shown to be useful in separating infection from non-infective disorders. However, infection is often paralleled by tissue inflammation. Most studies supporting the use of procalcitonin were confounded by more significant inflammation in the infection group. Few studies have ex...
