Positive correlation of serum PCT with VAS, CRP, ESR, and WBC in GA patients.

<p>The determination of linear relationships between PCT and CRP, ESR, VAS and WBC in GA patients (n = 51) was performed by Spearman correlation coefficient. PCT is significantly positively correlated with VAS (r = 0.39; <i>p</i> = 0.004), CRP (r = 0.52; <i>p</i>< 0.0001), ESR (r = 0.28; <i>p</i> = 0.045). There was no association between PCT and WBC.
