Pneumonia: Procalcitonin

[@alfaalex101]

Thank you! This information helps us nurses (hopefully) make the doctors lives easier understanding the plan of care! Very beautifully explained.

Yep. Macrolides were a great option for URI/LRI pts w/ PCN-allergies--but yeah 40-50% resistance is tough. I head Procalcitonin is hit or miss too

[@Rojisenarath]

Are there any point of care testing that can be used to measure procalcitonin levels?

[@sofiyafaizova563]

Thank you, Doctor🙏🏻very helpful and clear explanation.

What does pct level >100 ng/ml means. I received this report for my father. He is chronic liver disease patient.
