Quantum dot modified interface for electrochemical immunosensing of procalcitonin for the detection of urinary tract infection.

Analytica chimica acta Dec 28, 2018
An electrochemical immunoelectrode is fabricated and investigated for quantification of the Procalcitonin (PCT), a protein over expressed in urinary tract infection (UTI). The sensor electrode is prepared by self assembling the conjugate of Zinc sulf...

Serum Procalcitonin and Presepsin Levels in Patients with Generalized Pustular Psoriasis.

Disease markers Dec 16, 2018
Patients with generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) often present with symptoms that must be differentiated from sepsis. Procalcitonin (PCT) and presepsin (P-SEP) are widely used as biomarkers for sepsis; therefore, we examined the serum PCT and P-SEP...

Comparison of the Abbott Architect BRAHMS and the Biomérieux Vidas BRAHMS Procalcitonin Assays.

The journal of applied laboratory medicine Sep 19, 2018
BACKGROUND: Procalcitonin (PCT) is a well-established marker for bacterial infection. Recently the US Food and Drug Administration approved the expanded use of this biomarker to guide clinical decisions for antibiotic treatment in patients with lower...

Procalcitonin as Predictor of Bacterial Infection in Meconium Aspiration Syndrome.

American journal of perinatology Dec 29, 2017
BACKGROUND: There is a lack of definite consensus on indications for initiating antibiotics in neonates with meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS), instigating researchers to search for a biomarker that can help differentiate MAS from MAS with bacterial...

Using Arden Syntax Medical Logic Modules to reduce overutilization of laboratory tests for detection of bacterial infections-Success or failure?

Artificial intelligence in medicine Sep 25, 2015
OBJECTIVE: Bacterial infections frequently cause prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) stays. Repeated measurements of the procalcitonin (PCT) biomarker are typically used for early detection and follow up of bacterial infections and sepsis, but those ...

Four Biomarkers-Based Artificial Neural Network Model for Accurate Early Prediction of Bacteremia with Low-level Procalcitonin.

Annals of clinical and laboratory science May 1, 2021
OBJECTIVE: Procalcitonin levels above 2.0 ng/mL are associated with a higher risk of severe sepsis. Bacteremia with procalcitonin levels lower than 2.0 ng/mL has not received much attention, and relevant prediction models are lacking. Herein, a panel...
