Abstract: This review aims highlight the role and need for procalcitonin in emergency medicine. Șevere bacterial infections, such as sepsis is medical emergency, thus requiring prompt treatment and diagnosis. Procalcitonin, a precursor to calcitonin, was defined 40 years ago [1,2], that helps in emergency department and in intensive care unit to diagnose bacterial infection. Over time, many articles have emerged on the role and need for procalcitonin in intensive care units, as well as in emergency department. A global problem is resistance on antibiotics.
