Serious adverse reactions have been very uncommon in clinical studies, but these studies excluded patients with prior adverse reactions to other preparations of intravenous iron.

متن کاملSerum procalcitonin level: clinical significance.
Procalcitonin, a propeptide of calcitonin, is an important host response biomarker indicative of infection. In particular, it aids in assessing the severity of infection and its prognosis [2, 3].

Both the diseases can have varying degrees of severity and may also be confounded by factors such as immunocomprom...
متن کاملSerum procalcitonin in pneumococcal pneumonia in children.
Serum procalcitonin (PCT), a marker of bacterial infection, was measured in children with pneumonia to examine whether PCT can be used to screen pneumococcal (PNC) from viral pneumonia. The number of patients was 132; mean age 3.0 yrs, and 64% were males. In all cases, pneumonia was radiologically confirmed, being alveolar in 46 and interstitial in 86 cases. The aetiology of infection was studi...
