Is Procalcitonin Useful in Pediatric Critical Care Patients?

This review examines the use of procalcitonin in different clinical situations in the pediatric patient, with special emphasis on those requiring intensive care. We review the latest articles on its potency as a biomarker in both infectious processes at diagnosis and on the response to treatment.
