UnknownProcalcitonin and C-reactive protein to rule out early bacterial coinfection in COVID-19 critically ill patients.

Purpose

Although the prevalence of community-acquired respiratory bacterial coinfection upon hospital admission in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been reported to be < 5%, almost three-quarters of patients received antibiotics. We aim to investigate whether procalciton...
