The patients were divided intotwo groups as those with positive blood culture (n=95)and those with negative blood culture (n=157). Bloodcultures were performed using the BacT/ALERT 3D(bioMérieux, France) automated blood culture system.The levels of PCT and hsCRP were measuredby the Roche Cobas 6000 modular system (Roche Diagnostics,Germany). Complete blood count analysiswas performed using the UniCel DxH 800 hematologyanalyzer (Beckman Coulter, USA).ResultsA statistically significant difference was found betweenthe hemoculture positive and the hemoculture negativegroups in terms of PCT, hsCRP, CAR, neutrophil,lymphocyte, hemoglobin, red blood cell distribution width(RDW), mean platelet volume (MPV), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte/monocyte ratio(LMR) platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), MPV/plateletratio (MPV/PLT) and albumin levels (p</p></trans-abstract>
