Current biochemical analyses based on biomarkers, such as procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) methods, can provide some clues for the differential diagnosis of bacterial and viral infections, but their low sensitivity and specificity means that they cannot be relied upon in and of themselves for treatment.
