- W2012932020 abstract "Clinical outcome of pneumonia depends on a multifaceted treatment approach. Not only diagnostic methods but also early indicators of the degree of inflammatory response can aid in therapeutic decisions. The objective was to evaluate the usefulness of procalcitonin and neopterin in distinguishing among aetiologies as well as severity in patients with pneumonia.A total of one hundred sixteen patients with clinical, radiographic and microbiological diagnosis of pneumonia were grouped by aetiology, pneumonia severity index, and by the presence of unilobar or multilobar radiographic pulmonary infiltrates. Procalcitonin and neopterin were measured by immunoassays.Patients with pneumococcal pneumonia presented elevated procalcitonin and neopterin levels, being higher in bacteraemic than in non-bacteraemic pneumonia. Patients with Legionella pneumonia presented elevated neopterin levels and slightly elevated procalcitonin levels. Patients with tuberculosis and Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia presented elevated neopterin and low or not detectable procalcitonin. Procalcitonin and neopterin levels were increased in high-risk classes of pneumonia severity index. Both parameters yielded significant correlation to the radiographic extent and also to young age.Procalcitonin and neopterin levels vary depending on age, aetiology and severity of pneumonia. Together with clinical and microbiological data, combined measurement can help to identify patients who might benefit from additional therapies." @default.
