Increased concentrations of procalcitonin in patients with paracetamol intoxication

Paracetamol intoxication is one of the causes of elevated procalcitonin concentrations unrelated to infection. We report a case series of two patients intoxicated with paracetamol whose laboratory data revealed a significant elevation of serum procalcitonin concentrations without clinical, radiologi...

description	Paracetamol intoxication is one of the causes of elevated procalcitonin concentrations unrelated to infection. We report a case series of two patients intoxicated with paracetamol whose laboratory data revealed a significant elevation of serum procalcitonin concentrations without clinical, radiological and/or biological evidence of infection. The underlying mechanism by which paracetamol triggers an increase in procalcitonin concentrations is still unclear.
