ABSTRACT

Serum procalcitonin(PCT) is considered to be the most sensitive and high specificity index.In recent years,it is gradually found that C-reactive protein sensitivity is much higher than PCT in the diagnosis of bacterial infection of those patients with immune system diseases and application of immune inhibitors.Therefore,this paper summarizes whether the PCT is still of higher sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of bacterial infection of the immunosuppression individual or not.
