Plasma levels of procalcitonin and neopterin in multiple trauma patients with or without brain injury

Clinical and experimental evidence suggests that traumatic brain injury (TBI) leads to a systemic immune response. To examine whether TBI causes a release of procalcitonin (PCT) or neopterin (NT) into the circulation, we compared plasmatic mediator levels among multiple injured patients with or with...
