PCT is a protein, and its level in plasma increases when severe bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections, as well as sepsis and multiple organ failure. PCT will not increase during autoimmunity, allergies and viral infections. Locally limited bacterial infections, mild infections and chronic inflammations will not cause it to increase. Bacterial endotoxin plays a vital role in the induction process.
PCT reflects the active degree of systemic inflammation. Factors affecting PCT levels include the size and type of the infected organ, the type of bacteria, the degree of inflammation, and the status of the immune response. In addition, PCT can only be measured 1 to 4 days after large-scale surgery in a small number of patients.
