An increase in procalcitonin indicates the addition of a bacterial infection, and this is due to an increase in IL-6 in the blood > 40 pc/mL.... We assume that the main indicators for the administration of IL-6 inhibitors are the following indicators: CRP > 150 mg/L, IL-6 in the blood > 40 pc/mL, procalcitonin < 0.5 μg/L. To confirm our hypotheses, a large-scale study is required....

This review discusses the significance of monitoring the content of antibiotics in the blood for this purpose, in combination with the content of inflammatory markers, such as C-reactive protein and procalcitonin....

Measurements of biomarkers of inflammation (C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, presepsin, proadrenomedullin) in combination with clinical evaluation are important at first for the diagnosis of bacterial infection, and after that these can help to assess...

Biomarkers, such high serum procalcitonin and ferritin have also emerged as poor prognostic factors. Furthermore, blood hypercoagulability is common among hospitalized COVID-19 patients....

Pre- and post-therapy examination of the patients included clinical (severity and duration of fever, gas exchange parameters), imaging (computed tomography) and laboratory tests (including C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, D-dimer). Results....

levels, neutrophilia, extremely high troponin levels, increased ferritin, AST, ALT, lactate dehydrogenase, creatine phosphate kinase, interleukin-6 and interleukin-10, coagulopathy with an increase in D-dimer and fibrinogen, thrombocytopenia, sometimes procalcitonin...

Laboratory data showed significant increases in fibrinogen, C-reactive protein, ferritin, procalcitonin, and D-dimer levels.... Laboratory data showed significant increases in fibrinogen, C-reactive protein, ferritin, procalcitonin, and D-dimer levels....

children with COVID%19 infection and pneumonia are bilateral affection, infiltration with a typical surrounding aureole – the sign of “halo”, the symptom of “opal glass” with predominantly peripheral localization and often in combination with elevated procalcitonin... children with COVID-19 infection and pneumonia are bilateral affection, infiltration with a typical surrounding aureole – the sign of “halo”, the symptom of “opal glass” with predominantly peripheral localization and often in combination with elevated procalcitonin...

Other laboratory parameters (C-reactive protein (CRP), ferritin, procalcitonin) were taken from patient records. Normality of distribution was assessed by the Shapiro-Wilk test....

effects: decreased leukocytosis and endotoxin ac- tivity, reduced blood plasma procalcitonin and Динамика рентгенологических изменений в легких: a — 1-е сутки послеоперационного периода; b — 3-и сутки после- операционного периода.... (within 24 hrs.) effects: decreased leukocytosis (the leukocyte count fell down from 32☓109 to 13☓109, L-1) and endotoxin activity (EAA — from 0.67 to 0.32, units), reduced blood plasma anti-in-flammatory cytokine (IL-6 — from 1860 to 62, pg/ml) and procalcitonin...
