Urosepsis is dened as sepsis (septicemia syndrome) which is caused by an infection of the urinary tract. In sepsis, increased levels of procalcitonin in the blood have a signicant value that can be used as biomarkers of sepsis. this study aims to correlate the levels of procalcitonin with the type of bacteria in urosepsis patients. This study is a retrospective cross-sectional study, where the samples assessed were inpatients with a diagnosis of urosepsis at H.

Of the 17 samples with procalcitonin levels above 10, 15 of them had gram negative culture results.
