      Background: Virtually all living organisms, including microbes and humans, depend on iron to survive and grow. During an infection, the plasma level of iron and several iron-related proteins change substantially. We hypothesized that iron and iron-related proteins could predict short- and long-term outcomes in community-acquired pneumonia.<p> <p>Methods: Blood samples from a prospective cohort ...

      <b>Background</b><br> Biomarkers may facilitate clinical decisions in order to guide antimicrobial treatment and prediction of prognosis in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). We measured serum C-reactive protein, procalcitonin (PCT) and calprotectin levels, and plasma pentraxin 3 (PTX3) and presepsin levels, along with whole-blood white cell counts, at three time-points, and examined their association ...
