[Diagnostic values of procalcitonin, interleukin-6, C reactive protein and serum amyloid A in sepsis].
To evaluate the diagnostic values of procalcitonin (PCT), C reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), serum amyloid A (SAA) in septic patients. ⋯ PCT as an early independent biomarker for sepsis is superior to immune inflammatory biomarkers (CRP, IL-6, SAA), also is better than the combination of these four biomarkers for economic effect.

[Procalcitonin as a predictor of trauma severity and post-traumatic sepsis in children].
To determine the association of procalcitonin (PCT) with trauma severity and post traumatic sepsis in children. ⋯ Plasma PCT levels increase markedly in post trauma children. Plasma PCT of day 2 after trauma is an independent predictor of post-traumatic sepsis and SIRS complications. There is a significant correlation between the severity of injury and plasma PCT.
