متن کاملPredictive value of procalcitonin in respiratory adenovirus infections in children with elevated C-reactive protein levels
Abstract: Adenoviruses (ADV) often cause respiratory infections. They have, in contrast to other respiratory viruses via a potential acute phase parameter (C-reactive protein, leukocytes and interleukin 6) to trigger. ADV infections are associated with increased secretion of IL-6 and TNF-?lpha, which activates the synthesis of acute phase proteins. The exact pathogenic mechanism is still unclea...
متن کاملElevated calcitonin and procalcitonin levels in nonmedullary benign and malignant thyroid nodules.
Background. To evaluate the elevation rate of serum markers calcitonin (CT) and procalcitonin (ProCT) in patients with non-medullary benign and malignant thyroid nodules. Methods. Before surgery CT and ProCT were measured in sera from 168 patients with histologically proven benign thyroid nodules (n=107) and non-medullary thyroid carcinomas (n=61). Sera from 112 apparently healthy blood donors ...
