Interest of Procalcitonin in ANCA Vasculitides for Differentiation between Flare and Infections

Procalcitonin (PCT) was established as a biomarker to discriminate bacterial infections from other proinflammatory conditions. Our objective was to determine whether PCT is effective in differentiating infection from antineutrophil-cytoplasmic-antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAV) flare. In...
