Abstract
Sepsis accounts for approximately 20% of global deaths, and early diagnosis is a critical factor in intervention. Procalcitonin (PCT) is an established biomarker for bacterial infection and there are recognised intervals for clinical interpretation in the context of sepsis. Antibiotic therapy is indicated for PCT results >2.0 ng/mL and this has implications for antibiotic stewardship in the age of antibiotic resistance.
