Point-of-care testing for procalcitonin in identifying bacterial infections in young infants: a diagnostic accuracy study
BACKGROUND: The primary objective of this study was to report on the diagnostic accuracy of point-of-care testing (POCT) for procalcitonin (PCT) in identifying invasive bacterial infections in young infants. Invasive bacterial infection was defined as the isolation of a bacterial pathogen in blood o...
