“…Shin and coworkers demonstrated that patients with SLE and bacterial and fungal infections (n = 9) had significantly higher PCT levels than patients diagnosed with viral infection (n=3), lupus flare (n= 7), and control group (which included 11 patients with inactive SLE) [53]. Serum PCT levels tended to increase continuously in the group with non-viral infection and decreased after treatment of infection.…”
