However, the kinetics of the PCT concentration decrease under antibiotic therapy can adequately monitor infection evolution with therapy and can help to customise antibiotic duration. PCT-guided algorithms to guide antibiotic discontinuation were able to shorten antibiotic duration without impacting patient ...

Contribution of procalcitonin for guidance of antibiotic therapy in respiratory tract infectionsSchuetz, P
WASHINGTON — The use of a procalcitonin (PCT) test to guide antibiotic therapy in patients with lower respiratory tract infections and sepsis is of no value without education on how to interpret the results, a new study suggests. "Providers were ordering the PCT test, but did not know how ...
