Yes, elevated PCT levels are indicative of sepsis caused by bacterial infections, aiding in prompt diagnosis and treatment.
The frequency of PCT testing depends on the clinical condition and response to treatment, as determined by the healthcare provider.

A positive result indicates past infection with the Dengue virus or successful vaccination against Dengue.
