Evaluation of Procalcitonin Accuracy for the Distinction Between Gram-Negative and Gram-Positive Bacterial Sepsis in Burn Patients
Abstract
Sepsis is the main cause of death in burns. Early institution of antimicrobial therapy is crucial to optimize outcomes but superfluous therapy increases adverse events, microbial resistance, and costs. Blood cultures are the gold standard for diagnosis but can take 48 to 72 hours. Biomarkers are used to help sepsis diagnosis and distinction between Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial cause. The aim of this work is to evaluate procalcitonin...
