Various biomarkers have been studied for diagnosing bacterial infections, seeking to stop the sepsis cascade. Presepsin, which is ∼13 kDa in size, has been identified to increase specifically in the blood of sepsis patients. Additionally, measurement of presepsin is useful to evaluate the severity of infection and monitor clinical responses. We evaluated the analytical and clinical performance of the Pathfast presepsin (PFP) assay system for early diagnosis of infection.

Abstract

Various biomarkers have been studied for diagnosing bacterial infections, seeking to stop the sepsis cascade. Presepsin, which is ∼13 kDa in size, has been identified to increase specifically in the blood of sepsis patients. Additionally, measurement of presepsin is useful to evaluate the severity of infection and monitor clinical responses. We evaluated the analytical and clinical performance of the Pathfast presepsin (PFP) assay system for early diagnosis of infection.
