Brief Summary:
Recently it has been seen that investigations from saliva samples could be an alternative to those from blood samples Saliva collection is a simple non-invasive cost-effective and relatively easy method making it potentially suitable as a new diagnostic tool in pediatric patients In the current literature elevated levels of saliva CRP TNF-α IL-6 and IFN-γ have been reported in inflammatory conditions However while there are animal studies suggesting the use of saliva PCT levels for focal diseases such as gingival inflammation and periodontitis and as a potential tool for non-invasive detection of sepsis there is no human study regarding its use in systemic infections
The aim of this study is to evaluate the correlation between serum PCT levels and saliva PCT levels in children suspected of SBE and to determine the diagnostic value of saliva PCT
