Kinetics of C-reactive Protein and Procalcitonin in the Early Identification of ICU-Acquired Infections in Critically Ill COVID19 Patients
2023-08-28
Abstract excerpt
The SARS-CoV-2 infection is a cause of hypoxemic acute respiratory failure, leading to frequent intensive care unit (ICU) admission. Due to invasive organ support and immunosuppressive therapies, these patients are prone to nosocomial infections.
