Significantly elevated CRP (>122mg/L) and PCT (>0.5ng/mL) levels are predictors of bad outcomes, and are useful for tracking therapy progress, but are not specific enough to rule-in infectious endocarditis [38-39]. Sepsis PCT may have some utility in guiding posttest probability for sepsis when the diagnosis is unclear.
