Evaluation of the Relationship between Procalcitonin and Total Leukocyte Count, Neutrophil and Neutrophil/Lymphocyte Ratio in Patients with Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome and Sepsis: A Hospital-based Observational Study.
PCT is the best biomarker to predict sepsis, and it correlated significantly with TLC, neutrophil count, and NLR in SIRS without infection, and with neutrophil count and NLR in sepsis in our study. Secondly, TLC and NLR are also good predictors of sepsis and can diagnose sepsis in resource-poor settings.
