PCT
PCT data were available for 92 patients with a baseline concentration of PCT ≤ 10 μg/L (56 trimodulin; 36 placebo). Baseline PCT levels were similar between groups (mean ± SD: 2.6 ± 2.8 µg/L placebo, 2.7 ± 2.6 µg/L trimodulin). As with CRP, time-concentration profiles of PCT in 10 patients per group showed more fluctuation with placebo compared with trimodulin (Additional file A significant difference was observed between the PCT time-concentration profiles for the trimodulin and placebo groups (Fig.
