The aim of this study is to analyze the usefulness of serum Procalcitonin levels as both diagnostic and prognostic marker for aerobic and anaerobic bacteremia and to assess the correlation between serum Procalcitonin and time to positivity. Retrospectively analyzed 410 Peritoneal Dialysis patients with suspected blood stream infections who had concurrent serum Procalcitonin data and blood culture results. The study illustrates that Procalcitonin assay is a reliable and promising biomarker to discriminate aerobic and anaerobic bacteremia from non-bacterial blood stream infections. Serum Procalcitonin levels may also predict the severity and prognosis of blood stream infections but renal function should also be taken into account.
