Abstract
This study reveals that all four parameters of interest (fibrinogen, CRP, procalcitonin and leukocytes) cannot be used solely for distinguishing between a gram-negative and gram-positive infection. Analysing the data revealed some differences between both groups. However, they were not significant enough to conclude that one or more parameters could help determine the type of infection. The study shows limitations, especially a small sample size and no subcategorisation according to trauma and sepsis, which had a significant impact on the study result. Nevertheless, the increasing antimicrobial resistance and intrahospital infections worldwide emphasise the need for appropriate antimicrobial treatment. This shows the importance of further research in this field to improve patient outcomes by choosing appropriate antimicrobial therapy as early as possible.
