Procalcitonin (PCT) is a reliable biomarker of sepsis and infection. The level of PCT
associated with sepsis and infection in patients with traumatic brain injury is currently
unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the value of PCT and C-reactive
protein (CRP) as diagnostic markers of sepsis and to evaluate the prognostic value of these
markers related to the severity of injury, sepsis and mortality
