Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleC-Reactive Protein and Serum Procalcitonin Levels as Markers of Bacterial Upper Respiratory Tract InfectionsDiamantis P. Kofteridis, George Samonis, Alexander D. Karatzanis et al.Problem statement: Upper Respiratory Tract Infections (URTIs) are the most frequent of the community with major social and financial impact. Hence, early and proper diagnosis is of utmost importance. Biomarkers such as the circulating levels of Procalcitonin (PCT) have been shown to be elevated in systemic bacterial infections, but remain relatively low in viral infections and inflammatory diseases and have … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,135 accessesView PDFCite
