To Procalcitonin, or Not to Procalcitonin?

[摘要] Procalcitonin (PCT) has been one of the most studied biomarkers in current times (a cursory PubMed search on “procalcitonin” shows 4,749 references); with so much available data, the reader must be asking…why CHEST decided to publish it…or why bother reading another PCT meta-analysis. The reasons will become clear in the course of this editorial.
