Infectious disease following hematopoietic SCT (HSCT) is a major cause of TRM. The more valuable markers to distinguish infections disease from non-infectious complications are needed. Procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured periodically throughout the clinical course of consecutive 28 patients who underwent HSCT. The diagnoses of 103 febrile episodes were analyzed. PCT and CRP level on the first day of fever significantly increased in systemic bacterial or fungal infection (P = 2 ng/mL was independently associated with worse overall survival as post-transplant predictors (adjusted hazard ratio 6.42, P = 0.035). PCT provide additional information for discrimination between bacterial or fungal infection and other causes and predicting the patient's prognosis after HSCT.
