Mukurwisa kusakwanisa kurapwa nemishonga inorwisa mabhakitiriya uye sepsis, imwe biomarker iri kuchinja mitemo yekurapa kwekukurumidzira: Procalcitonin (PCT). Yaimbova kukosha kwemurabhoritari, kuongororwa kwePCT kwave chishandiso chepamberi kune vanachiremba pasi rese.

Mazinga ePCT anokwira zvakanyanya nekuda kwehutachiona hwemabhakitiriya asi anoramba ari pasi panguva yezvirwere zvemavhairasi kana kuzvimba. Musiyano uyu wakakosha. Gore rega rega, mamiriyoni evarwere anowana mishonga inorwisa mabhakitiriya isingakoshi yebronchitis kana furuwenza, zvichiwedzera dambudziko rezvipembenene zvisingadi mishonga. "Nekuyerwa kwePCT, tinogona kumisa mishonga inorwisa mabhakitiriya nechivimbo kana huwandu hwayo hwaderera," anodaro Dr. Emily Hart, nyanzvi yezvirwere zvinotapukira. "Izvi zvinochengetedza zvombo zvedu zvekutyisidzira kwechokwadi kwebhakitiriya."

Kunze kwekutarisira, PCT inoponesa hupenyu hwesepsis. Zviratidzo zvechinyakare zvinogona kunge zvisina kujeka, asi kuverenga kuri kuwedzera kwePCT kunosimbisa kurwiswa kwemabhakitiriya mumuviri maawa mashoma mhedzisiro yekuongorora ropa isati yagadzirwa. Paawa yega yega kurapwa kunononoka, kufa kunowedzera ne8%. Kuongororwa nekukurumidza kwePCT kunobvumira vanachiremba kusiyanisa sepsis kubva kuzvimba kwemuviri kusingatapukire nekukurumidza, zvichikonzera kurapwa kwakasimba kune avo vanoda kubatwa - uye kudzivirira kupinda muICU kune avo vasingade.

Zvipatara zvinoshandisa nzira dzePCT dzakaratidza kudzikira kwe40% mumazuva emishonga inorwisa mabhakitiriya uye kugara muICU kwenguva pfupi. Sezvo mavhairasi ekufema munguva yechando achiwedzera, bvunzo iyi inodzivirira chikanganiso chinowanzoitika chekurapa zviratidzo zvehutachiona nemishonga yebhakitiriya.

Procalcitonin haisi nhamba chete; igwara remushonga chaiwo. Munguva iyo mushonga wese unorwisa mabhakitiriya unokosha uye miniti yega yega ye sepsis inokosha, kuongororwa kwePCT hakuchisiri chinhu chemazuva ano - ndiyo nzira yekutarisira.
