The diagnostic role of Procalcitonin and other biomarkers in discriminating infectious from non-infectious fever
چکیده انگلیسی

SummaryFever is not only observed in the course of a bacterial or viral infection, but can be a symptom of, for instance, auto-immune, malignant or thromboembolic disease. Determining the etiology of fever in a fast and reliable way is of pivotal importance, as different causes of fever may ask for different therapies. Neither clinical signs and symptoms, nor traditional biomarkers, such as CRP, leukocytes and ESR have sufficient sensitivity and specificity to guide treatment decisions. In this review we focus on the value of traditional and newer biomarkers in non-infectious febrile diseases. Procalcitonin (PCT) seems to be the most helpful laboratory marker for the differentiation of causes of fever, particularly in autoimmune, autoinflammatory and malignant diseases.
