Clinical importance of serum procalcitonin in ulcerative colitis patients.

Ergenekon Karagoz1, Alpaslan Tanoglu1.   

Abstract

We have read with interest the recently published article entitled "Clinical significance of serum procalcitonin in patients with ulcerative colitis" by Koido et al. They aimed to investigate the association of procalcitonin with ulcerative colitis (UC) activity. They concluded that elevated procalcitonin levels were significantly correlated with UC activity. We would like to thank the authors for their comprehensive contribution.
