Diagnostic efficacy of serum procalcitonin, C-reactive protein concentration and clinical pulmonary infection score in Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of serum procalcitonin (PCT), c-reactive protein (CRP) concentration and clinical pulmonary infection score(CPIS) in ventilator-associated pneumonia(VAP). ⋯ PCT serum level and CPIS score are elevated in VAP patients and could therefore represent potential biomarkers for VAP early diagnosis.

The first therapy based on chimeric antigen receptors has been approved by the FDA. It gives excellent results in recurrent paediatric ALL; its cost is very high but fairly consistent with the clinical benefit (long term remission approaching a cure). In spite of their complexity and cost, CAR-T therapies will probably end up playing a very significant role in cancer therapy.
