Phil,
I reviewed this topic 2 years ago and felt
that the literature was not too convincing in favour of it.
I accept that things might have changed
since July 2007 but this might still be of interest?

Subject: Procalcitonin
Dear colleagues,
Queries from our users, usually ICU, regarding the
usefulness of Procalcitonin as a sepsis marker keep recurring -
are any of you using this assay in either a POCT or lab-based format ?
Info' gratefully received,
Philip
