Significance of Detection of Serum Procalcitonin in Diagnosis of Febrile Diseases

Objective: To investigate the level of procalcitonin(PCT) and peripheral blood white blood cells(WBC) and C-reactive protein(CRP) in the monitoring of febrile diseases and antibiotics. Method: The clinical data of 150 were divided into bacterial infection group(60 cases) and non-bacterial infection group(90 cases) at our hospital from May 2012 to May 2013. 40 cases with non-infection were set as control group. Result: The WBC of the three groups was(16.37±4.60)×109/L,(11.62±5.13)×109/L,(7.09±1.88)×109/L. The date of CRP of the three groups was(18.07±10.67)mg/L,(8.23±2.49)mg/L,(5.01±2.84)mg/L. The date of PCT of the three groups was(2.54±2.24)μg/L,(0.11±0.05)μg/L,(0.09±0.05)μg/L. The serum PCT and CRP levels and WBC of the bacterial infection group were higher significantly than those of the non-bacterial infection group and the control group. Conclusion: It is feasible that PCT, CRP and WBC can be as important markers for the febrile diseases and also potential application of antibiotics for the judgement of the infection.
