Predicting the Severity of Post-cesarean Wound Infections Using Serum Procalcitonin Levels

Predicting the Severity of Post-cesarean Wound Infections Using Serum Procalcitonin Levels

The serum procalcitonin levels are important during infections and sepsis. The investigators aimed to assess its predictive value in terms of post-cesarean wound infection.

The serum procalcitonin levels are important during infections and sepsis. Recent studies showed that serum procalcitonin levels are more sensitive than serum CRP levels.The investigators aimed to assess its predictive value in terms of post-cesarean wound infection. The serum procalcitonin levels are aimed to measure in participants who had cesarean section and developed surgical site infection. The investigators aimed to compare the serum procalcitonin levels between the patients who need secondary suture and the patients who did not need secondary suture.

Inclusion Criteria:

• who developed surgical site infection after their cesarean sections.
• 18-40 years old

Exclusion Criteria:

• history of chorioamnionitis and premature rupture of membranes
• urinary tract infections
• any infectious condition other than surgical site infection
