dc.description.abstractProcalcitonin is a biomarker that is generally elevated in bacterial infections. This review describes a conceptual framework for biomarkers using lessons from the history of troponin, applies this framework to procalcitonin with a review of observational studies and randomized trials in and out of the intensive care unit, and concludes with clinical recommendations and thoughts on how to test a test. © 2019 Elsevier Inc.
