- Abstract
The ideal predictive biomarker should present very low or undetectable levels if the patient is not infected, its concentration should rise ideally before clinical signs of infection, and its levels should anticipate clinical course of infection either decreasing if the patient improves or remain elevated if the infection is not resolving [[6], [9]]. In infection and sepsis, the next dilemma will be to know the usefulness of each of these new biomarkers/technologies as well as their role in infection management.
