The CLEARTEST Procalcitonin (PCT) test is a rapid test that measures procalcitonin levels in the blood, providing early and reliable information about whether a bacterial or viral infection is present. Procalcitonin is a biomarker that rises sharply in severe bacterial infections and sepsis and falls rapidly again with appropriate antibiotic therapy . The test is crucial for treatment selection , as a high procalcitonin level indicates a bacterial infection, while low levels signal viral infections or the absence of infection. A stable or rising level suggests that the current medication is ineffective and a treatment adjustment is necessary.
This test is particularly helpful in diagnosing and monitoring serious bacterial infections and is frequently used in newborns and premature infants who are especially susceptible to infections.
