Download scientific diagram | Antibiotic stewardship based on procalcitonin (PCT) cut-off ranges. Re-evaluation of the clinical status and measurement of serum PCT levels is mandatory after 6–24 h in all persistently sick and hospitalized patients in who antibiotic are withheld. PCT, procalcitonin; ICU, intensive care unit. Adapted from [16] from publication: How and when to use common biomarkers in community-acquired pneumonia | Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a leading cause of death in both the developed and developing world. The very young and elderly are especially vulnerable. Even with appropriate early antibiotics we still have not improved the outcomes in these patients since the 1950s, | Biomarkers, Procalcitonin and Calcitonin | ResearchGate, the professional network for scientists.
