[HTML][HTML] High serum levels of procalcitonin and soluble TREM-1 correlated with poor prognosis in pulmonary tuberculosis
CT Huang, LN Lee, CC Ho, CC Shu, SY Ruan, YJ Tsai… - Journal of Infection, 2014 - Elsevier
Objectives Comparisons of procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), and soluble
triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) would expand our knowledge
of which biomarker is the best predictor for outcomes of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis
(PTB). Methods We prospectively enrolled 243 PTB patients, in whom PCT, CRP, and
sTREM-1 measurement were performed to evaluate their prognostic value for 6-month
mortality. Results Serum PCT, CRP, and sTREM-1 levels on diagnosis of PTB were …
