Özet

Objective: Elevated serum procalcitonin levels are of diagnostic value in most systemic bacterial infections, especially sepsis. However, there are insufficient data on the use of serum procalcitonin levels in the diagnosis of Brucella and Salmonella bacteremia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of the serum procalcitonin test for Brucella and Salmonella bacteremia.
