Procalcitonin is one of the main biomarkers for bacterial infection, which can be not only used for the differential diagnosis of various infectious disease and sepsis, but also for the monitoring of appropriate antibiotic therapy. This session will discuss the usage of procalcitonin quantification assay for antibiotics stewardship, which is a tool for quality management of antibiotic prescription, administration, with current review of Korean environment and regulations, and new medical technology approval of the usage of procalcitonin for lower respiratory tract infection.
