A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF PROCALCITONIN VERSUS C–REACTIVE PROTEIN : IN EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF SEPSIS AND PATIENT OUTCOME

Dr. Neelam Singh, Dr. Dharmendra Kumar Yadav, Dr. Satyendra Singh

Abstract :

Background and Aims: Inspite of good efforts in critical care, severe sepsis mortality ranges from 28% to 50%. So we need such investigational tools which help to diagnose early sepsis. Sepsis, a syndrome of physiologic, pathologic and biochemical abnormalities induced by infection, is a major public health concern. Severe sepsis and septic shock are frequently complicated by multiple–organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), so the severity of organ dysfunction is an important determinant of prognosis in sepsis.
