Abstract
The diagnostic capacity of PCT is superior to that of CRP due to the close correlation between PCT levels and the severity of sepsis and outcome. Neopterin is very useful in the diagnosis of viral infection. The endotoxin assay in combination with CRP, PCT, or neopterin may help as a diagnostic marker for Gram-negative bacterial infection.
