评估了血清降钙素原（PCT）水平的测量对社区获得性感染住院患者区分菌血症和非菌血症感染发作的能力。采集发热住院患者血清，测定血清PCT、C反应蛋白（CRP）水平和血沉（ESR）。在165例患者中，22例（13%）有菌血症发作，143例（87%）有非菌血症发作。菌血症患者的PCT水平、CRP水平和ESRs显著高于非菌血症患者（P
The ability of measurement of serum procalcitonin (PCT) levels to differentiate bacteremic from nonbacteremic infectious episodes in patients hospitalized for community-acquired infections was assessed. Serum samples were obtained from adult inpatients with fever to determine the serum PCT level, C-reactive protein (CRP) level, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). Of 165 patients, 22 (13%) had bacteremic episodes and 143 (87%) had nonbacteremic episodes. PCT levels, CRP levels, and ESRs were significantly higher in bacteremic patients than in nonbacteremic patients (P
