Serum procalcitonin concentrations in bacterial pneumonia in children: a negative result in primary healthcare settings.

abstract：:Since July 1988, a total of 92 transbronchial biopsies (TBB) have been performed in 18 patients (aged 3-16 years). Twelve patients (67%) were heart-lung transplant (HLT) recipients undergoing surveillance for pulmonary graft rejection and infection. The remainder included immunocompromised patients at risk of opportun...
