Abstract

Objective:To investigate the value of combined detection of serum procalcitonin(PCT)and C-reactive protein(CRP)on the diagnosis and condition determine of patients with severe infection in ICU.Methods:60 patients with severe infection in ICU were selected as the observation group, and 60 cases of non-infected in ICU were selected as a control group,serum PCT and CRP levels of groups were detected.Results:The positive rate of PCT in the observation group was 96.7%,CRP was 1000%.The levers of PCT and CRP were significantly higher than those in the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P0.05).Conclusion:PCT specificity than CRP,hence the joint monitoring of serum PCT and CRP levels in the ICU with severe infections as an important indicator of serious infections.
