Product detailed description
The procalcitonin (PCT) blood test is used to detect serious bacterial infections and strong inflammatory reactions in the body. Procalcitonin is a substance whose levels often rise significantly during bacterial infections, while viral infections usually cause little or no increase. The test is commonly used in cases of suspected sepsis, pneumonia, severe infections, or extensive inflammatory conditions. It can help distinguish between bacterial and viral causes of illness and may also be used to monitor the course of the disease and the effectiveness of antibiotic treatment.
