BACKGROUND
Biomarkers such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin may help distinguish community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) from other causes of lower respiratory tract infection.
METHODS
We performed a systematic review of the literature to identify prospective studies evaluating the accuracy of a biomarker in patients with acute cough or suspected CAP. We performed parallel abstraction of data regarding study inclusion, characteristics, quality, and test accuracy. Study quality was…

CRP and PCT performed better than WBC and ESR but had suboptimal sensitivity, and some less well-studied novel biomarkers appear to have promise particularly in combination.

There are insufficient data to recommend the widespread use of CRP and procalcitonin for the diagnosis and prognosis of infection in the emergency department, but these biomarkers can be used for appropriate antibiotic use in selected infection groups, such as community-acquired pneumonia, especially to reduce unnecessary antibiotic prescribing.

Temperature higher than 37.8 °C were a potential predictor of pneumonia in patients with normal or low leukocyte counts in the early stage, however, a hsCRP level less than 1.64 mg/L could rule out most cases of pneumonia.

According to the results of this study, the SP-A and SP-D proteins are associated with clinical and laboratory signs that reflect the severity of CAP, and are new laboratory markers of CAP severity.

CRP may be of value in ruling out a diagnosis of CAP in situations where the probability of CAP >10%, typically accident and emergency departments, and in primary care, additional diagnostic testing with CRP is unlikely to change subsequent management decisions.
