- Abstract
The article reports that procalcitonin is to guide antibiotic therapy in acute respiratory infections. Acute respiratory infections are the most common reason for antibiotic therapy in primary care and hospital settings. Individual behavioral counseling conducted by a trained therapist provides some benefit when compared with brief counseling and support; however, this benefit is less pronounced in the context of pharmacotherapy.
