Editorial comment
In this issue of the journal, Steinwaldet al[1] extend limited clinical studies and report an animal
experiment showing that calcitonin precursors (predominantly procal-citonin)
are elevated in proportion to the severity of bacterial sepsis. They conclude
that procalcitonin, the major calcitonin precursor, is a good indicator of the
activity and severity of the inflammatory response and may be used for
monitoring bacterial infections.
