Objectives: To evaluate the potential value of serum procalcitonin and serum ferritin levels in patients with clinically suspected and proven sepsis and their comparison with established inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein (CRP) and total leukocyte count. Materials and Methods: A total of GO clinically suspected cases of sepsis were included in this study and each patient was investigated for serum S. ferritin, procalcitonin, and CRP and blood cultures using the BacT/Alert system. Results: Serum procalcitonin at a cut-off value of >2 ng/ml is a valuable biomarker for early diagnosis in sepsis patients due to bacterial infection and has a greater predictive value than serum ferritin, CRP, or any other biomarkers.
