BACKGROUND: Patients hospitalized with sepsis are commonly treated with antibiotics for 10–21 days. Evidence is lacking to support this duration. We hypothesize that the sequential measurement of procalcitonin [PCT] (host biomarker) and endotoxin activity assay [EAA] (microorganism biomarker) could...
