Frequently Asked Questions
PCT levels are typically elevated in bacterial infections but remain low in viral infections. This test aids in differentiating between the two, helping to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use.
While PCT is a strong indicator of bacterial infection, other factors such as trauma, surgery, and severe burns can also elevate PCT levels. Clinical context is crucial in interpreting results.
This test can be used as a supportive tool to monitor the response to antibiotic therapy. A decrease in PCT levels may indicate successful treatment. Consult with a healthcare provider for a complete evaluation.
