Procalcitonin Level and Kinetics in Children With Bacterial Infections
Procalcitonin Level as a Prognostic Marker and Its' Kinetics in Children With Bacterial Infections

The purposes of this study are:

  1. To determine whether procalcitonin level at admission of pediatric patients with bacterial infections can be used as a marker for prediction of defervescence and hospitalization length
  2. To examine the kinetics of procalcitonin in pediatric patients with bacterial infections and persistent fever
