Abstract

Pneumonia is one of an infectious disease with high mortality rate. In the last decade procalcitonin (PCT) was found as a biomarker
that can predict a kind of infection. The aim of the study was to know the difference of PCT level between community acquired pneumonia
(CAP) and hospital acquired pneumonia (HAP) by analyzing it, and the difference between <60 years old and older age patients. A
cross-sectional study was conducted on the CAP and HAP patients in RSHS, in August–October 2009. The level difference were analyzed
with Mann-Whitney test, with a significancy of p<0.05. In this study 40 (forty) patients (66%) CAP and 21 patients (34%) HAP were
included. The median of PCT levels in CAP was 0.88 ng/dL and HAP 8.32 ng/dL (p=0.002), where as in the in Gram negative bacterial
infection (GNBI) level in CAP was 4.76 ng/dL and in Gram positive was 0.61 ng/dL. The median PCT level in HAP with Gram negative
was 19.02 ng/dL and in the Gram positive was 4.63 ng/dL (p=0.201). The median of PCT level in CAP group <60 yo was 1.42 ng/dL
and in ≥60 yo was 0.65 ng/dL (p=0.207). The median of PCT level in HAP <60 yo was 8.32 ng/dL, where as in ≥60 yo was 9.93
ng/dL (p=0.178). Based in this study can be concluded that the PCT level in HAP group was higher than in the CAP group. The PCT
level in HAP with Gram negative bacterial infection was higher than in the CAP, where as in the CAP group was lower in ≥60 yo.
